Question:

The general solution of the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx}+4x\, y^2 =0 $ is :

Options:

$y=\frac{1}{2x^2-C}, $ where C is a constant

$y=2x^2-C,$ where C is a constant

$y=x^2-C,$ where C is a constant

$y=\frac{1}{x^2-C}, $ where C is a constant

Correct Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2x^2-C}, $ where C is a constant

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $y=\frac{1}{2x^2-C}, $ where C is a constant

$\frac{dy}{dx}=-4xy^2⇒\int\frac{1}{y^2}dy=\int-4xdx$

$⇒-\frac{1}{y}=-2x^2+C$

So $y=\frac{1}{2x^2-C}$
