Option C

0

Solution :

Correct Answer: 0

Step-by-step Explanation:

By analyzing the provided image, we can identify the first-order ordinary differential equation written on the screen as:

y3 dy dx + x3 = 0

We are given the initial condition y(0)=1, and we need to find the value of y(-1).

Step 1: Separate the variables
We rearrange the differential equation to group all terms containing y on one side and all terms containing x on the other side:

y3 dy dx = - x3

Multiplying both sides by dx, we obtain the separated form:

y3 dy = - x3 dx

Step 2: Integrate both sides
Now, we integrate both sides of the equation to find the general solution:

y3 dy = - x3 dx

Using the power rule for integration, undu=un+1n+1, we get:

y4 4 = - x4 4 + C

where C is the constant of integration. Multiplying the entire equation by 4 gives:

y4 = - x4 + K

where K=4C is an arbitrary constant. Rearranging terms, we have:

y4 + x4 = K

Step 3: Solve for the constant K using the initial condition
We are given that y(0)=1, meaning y=1 when x=0. Substituting these values into our equation:

(1)4 + (0)4 = K

K = 1

Thus, the particular solution of the differential equation is:

y4 + x4 = 1

Step 4: Find the value of y(-1)
To determine y(-1), we substitute x=-1 into the particular solution:

y4 + (-1)4 = 1

Since (-1)4=1, the equation simplifies to:

y4 + 1 = 1

Subtracting 1 from both sides:

y4 = 0

Taking the fourth root of both sides gives:

y = 0

Therefore, the value of y(-1) is 0.
