Let , be a solution curve of the differential equation . If and , then:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Let , be a solution curve of the differential equation . If and , then:
Correct answer:A
Standard Method
Given: , with and .
Find: The correct relation satisfied by .
From the solution working, rewrite the equation as
Using the substitution , the equation is reduced and integrated. The extracted working states the general solution as
Now apply the initial condition . Substituting and gives
which simplifies to
So the stated form is consistent with the condition.
Next, use . Since
and
we get, from the extracted solution,
The working then concludes that this leads to
Therefore, the correct option is A.
Use the final substituted form directly
Given: The extracted solution provides a final usable relation after solving the differential equation.
Find: Which option matches the value at .
Use the stated solution form directly and substitute . Then
and
The extracted working immediately converts this into the relation
So without re-deriving every algebraic step, we can match the result with the options.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
Treating the equation as directly separable is incorrect because appears in the term mixed with . Instead, use the substitution indicated in the working, namely , to reduce it to a solvable first-order equation.
While applying the condition , a common error is computing incorrectly. Since , we get , not or .
Students may match the option using the raw expression for without converting it into the required exponential form. The question asks for the relation satisfied by , so after substitution, rewrite the result exactly in the option format before choosing.
