Differential Equations

Question:

The differential equation which represents the family of plane curves y = exp(cx) is:

Options:

y' = cy

xy' - log y = 0

x log y = yy'

y log y = xy'

Correct Answer:

y log y = xy'

Explanation:

Take log on both sides  ln y = cx     … (i)

Differentiate (i) w. r. t. x  ; $\frac{1}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}=c$   … (ii)     

Using (i) and (ii), we have 

log y = xy'
