Question

Let y(x) be a solution of the differential equation (1 + ex)y′ + yex = 1. If y(0) = 2, then which of
the following statements is(are) true ?

Options

A.y(–4) = 0
B.y(−2) = 0
C.y(x) has a critical point in the interval (−1,0)
D.y(x) has no critical point in the interval (−1, 0)

Solution

y′ + exy′ + yex = 1
⇒  dy + d(exy) = dx
⇒  y + exy = x + c
∵  y(0) = 2   ⇒  c = 4
⇒  y =
∴  y(-4) = 0
for critical point

given
∵  = 0   ⇒  ex(x + 3) - 1 = 0
⇒  x + 3 = e-x
y(x) has a critical point in the interval (-1, 0)
