Question:

The particular solution of the differential equation $xdy = (2x^2 + 1)dx, x ≠0$, given that $y = 1$ when $x = 1$ is:

Options:

$y = x + \log|x|$

$y = 2 + \log|x|$

$y = x^2 + \log|x|$

$y = x^2 + \log|x|+1$

Correct Answer:

$y = x^2 + \log|x|$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $y = x^2 + \log|x|$

$x\,dy=(2x^2+1)\,dx,\ x\ne 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=2x+\frac{1}{x}$

$\Rightarrow y=\int\!\left(2x+\frac{1}{x}\right)dx=x^2+\ln|x|+C$

Given $y=1$ at $x=1$:

$1=1+\ln 1+C\Rightarrow C=0$

$y=x^2+\ln|x|$
