If a curve y = f(x) passes through the point (1, 2) and satisfies $x {{dy} \over {dx}} + y = b{x^4}$, then for what value of b, $\int\limits_1^2 {f(x)dx = {{62} \over 5}}$?
Solution
${{dy} \over {dx}} + {y \over x} = b{x^3}$, $I.F. = {e^{\int {{{dx} \over x}} }} = x$<br><br>$\therefore$ $yx = \int {b{x^4}dx} = {{b{x^5}} \over 5} + C$<br><br>Passes through (1, 2), we get<br><br>$2 = {b \over 5} + C$ ........ (i)<br><br>Also, $$\int\limits_1^2 {\left( {{{b{x^4}} \over 5} + {c \over x}} \right)dx = {{62} \over 5}} $$<br><br>$$ \Rightarrow {b \over {25}} \times 32 + C\ln 2 - {b \over {25}} = {{62} \over 5} \Rightarrow C = 0$$ & $b = 10$
