Which of the following functions is a solution for the differential equation xy’-y=0?(a) y=4x(b) y=x^2(c) y=-4x(d) y=2xThe question was posed to me in homework.My question is taken from General and Particular Solutions of Differential Equation topic in section Differential Equations of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (d) y=2x

To EXPLAIN I would say: Consider the function y=2x

Differentiating w.r.t X, we get

y’=\(\frac{DY}{dx}\)=2

Substituting in the equation xy’-y, we get

xy’-y=x(2)-2x=2x-2x=0

Therefore, the function y=2x is a SOLUTION for the differential equation xy’-y=0.
