Let be the solution curve of the differential equation, , satisfying . This curve intersects the -axis at a point whose abscissa is:
- (A)
- (B)-e
- (C)2
- (D)✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
The equation is awkward in but linear in : rewrite it as . The integrating factor is , so , and integrating the right side by parts twice gives . The condition at gives , so . The curve meets the -axis where , at which .
