Question: The solution of differential equation \(\dfrac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2x\) is...
The solution of differential equation dxdy=2x is
Solution
We are provided a differential equation in the given question. As a result, we must use integration methods to solve the given differential equation. We will categorise the differential equation and then answer it based on the type of equation. Then, after computing an indefinite integral, we will add an arbitrary constant c that symbolises a family of curves.
Complete answer:
We have given dxdy=2x
⇒dxdy=2x
We will multiply dx on both sides
⇒dxdydx=2xdx
⇒dy=2xdx
We will integrate both sides with respect to dx.
⇒∫dy=∫2xdx
We know that by power rule of integration ∫xndx=n+1xn+1
⇒y=22x2+C
⇒y=x2+C
Hence, the integration of 2x is x2+C where C is constant.
Note:
The indefinite integrals of certain functions may have more than one answer in different forms. All of these forms, however, are correct and interchangeable. We get the family of curves from the indefinite integral since we don't know the exact value of the constant. Only if we are provided a point on the function can we calculate the exact value of the arbitrary constant.
