Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

3/7 e^(-7/3)

Solution :

To find the value of y(1), we need to solve the given first-order separable differential equation shown in the image:


dydx+7x2y=0

Step 1: Separate the variables
We can rewrite the differential equation by moving the term involving y to the right-hand side:


dydx=-7x2y

Assuming y0, divide both sides by y and multiply by dx:


1ydy=-7x2dx

Step 2: Integrate both sides
Now, integrate both sides of the equation with respect to their respective variables:


1ydy=-7x2dx

Integrating gives:


ln|y|=-73x3+C

where C is the constant of integration. Taking the exponential of both sides, we get:


y(x)=Ae-73x3

where A=±eC is a constant.

Step 3: Apply the initial condition
We are given the initial condition y(0)=37. Substitute x=0 and y=37 into the general solution:


37=Ae-73(0)3

Since e0=1, we find:


A=37

Thus, the particular solution is:


y(x)=37e-73x3

Step 4: Calculate y(1)
Substitute x=1 into the particular solution:


y(1)=37e-73(1)3=37e-7/3

This matches Option 2 shown in the second image.
