Let $y=f(x)$ be the solution of the differential equation $y(x+1)dx-x^2dy=0,y(1)=e$. Then $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x)$ is equal to
Solution
<p>Given,</p>
<p>$y(x + 1)dx - {x^2}dy = 0$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow \left( {{{x + 1} \over {{x^2}}}} \right)dx = {{dy} \over y}$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow {1 \over x}dx + {{dx} \over {{x^2}}} = {{dy} \over y}$</p>
<p>Integrating both sides, we get</p>
<p>$\int {{{dx} \over x} + \int {{{dx} \over {{x^2}}} = \int {{{dy} \over y}} } }$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow \ln |x| - {1 \over x} = \ln |y| + C$ ..... (1)</p>
<p>Given $y(1) = e$</p>
<p>$\therefore$ $x = 1$ and $y = e$</p>
<p>Putting value of x and y in equation (1), we get</p>
<p>$\ln |1| - {1 \over 1} = \ln |e| + C$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow 0 - 1 = 1 + C$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow C = - 2$</p>
<p>$\therefore$ Equation (1) becomes,</p>
<p>$\ln |x| = - {1 \over x} = \ln |y| - 2$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow \ln |y| = \ln |x| - {1 \over x} + 2$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow y = {e^{\ln |x|}}\,.\,{e^{2 - {1 \over x}}}$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow y = x\,.\,{e^{2 - {1 \over x}}}$</p>
<p>Now,</p>
<p>$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} y$</p>
<p>$$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} \left( {x\,.\,{e^{2 - {1 \over x}}}} \right)$$</p>
<p>$= 0\,.\,{e^{ - \alpha }}$</p>
<p>$= 0$</p>
