If $y(t)$ is a solution of $(1+t) \frac{d y}{d t}-t y=1$ and $y(0)=-1$, then $y(1)$ is equal to |
$-\frac{1}{2}$ $e+\frac{1}{2}$ $e-\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{2}$ |
$-\frac{1}{2}$ |
We have, $(1+t) \frac{d y}{d t}-t y=1 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d t}-\frac{t}{1+t} \cdot y=\frac{1}{1+t}$ ...(i) This is a linear differential equation with Integrating factor = $e^{\int \frac{-t}{1+t} d t}=e^{-t+\log (1+t)}=(1+t) e^{-t}$ Multiplying (i) by integrating factor and integrating, we get $y(1+t) e^{-t}=-e^{-t}+C \Rightarrow y(1+t)=-1+C e^t$ ....(ii) It is given that $y(0)=-1 \Rightarrow C=0$ Putting $C=0$ in (ii), we get $y(1+t)=-1 \Rightarrow y=-\frac{1}{1+t} \Rightarrow y(1)=-\frac{1}{2}$ |
