Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

y = e-4x + 1.25

Solution :

The correct option is: y = e-4x + 1.25

Based on the provided image, we can identify the differential equation as:
dydx+4y=5
which is valid in the domain 0x1 with the initial condition y(0)=2.25.

To solve this first-order linear ordinary differential equation, we write it in the standard form:
dydx+P(x)y=Q(x)
By comparing, we have:
P(x)=4
and
Q(x)=5

The integrating factor (I.F.) is given by:
I.F.=eP(x)dx=e4dx=e4x

Multiplying both sides of the differential equation by the integrating factor:
e4xdydx+4e4xy=5e4x
This simplifies to:
ddx(ye4x)=5e4x

Integrating both sides with respect to x:
ye4x=5e4xdx
ye4x=54e4x+C
where C is the constant of integration.

Dividing both sides by e4x yields:
y=1.25+Ce-4x

Next, we apply the initial condition y(0)=2.25 to find C:
2.25=1.25+Ce-4(0)
2.25=1.25+C(1)
C=2.25-1.25=1

Substituting C=1 back into the general solution gives the particular solution:
y=e-4x+1.25
