For x, let the function yx be the solution of the differential equation dydx+12y=cosπ12x,y0=0. Then, which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
  1. yx is an increasing function
  2. yx is a decreasing function
  3. There exists a real number β such that the line y=β intersects the curve y=yx at infinitely many points
  4. yx is a periodic function

Solution

Given,

dydx+12y=cosπx12

I.F=e12x

Now solution of the differential equation is given by,

y·e12x=e12x·cosπx12dx+C

y·e12x=e12x122+π12212cosπx12+π12sinπx12+C

Now given curve is passing through 0,0

So, y0=0C=-12122+π122

So y=1λ12cosπx12+π12sinπx12f1x-12e-12x

{Where λ=1122+π122 }

Now on differentiating we get,

dydx=1λ'-πsinπx12+π2122cosπx12f2x+12e-12x

where λ'=12122+π122

Now when x is large then 12e-12x tends to zero.

But f2x varies in -π2+π124 , π2+π124 by using -a2+b2 & a2+b2

Hence dydx is changing its sign.

So yx is non monotonic for all real number.
Also when x is very large then again -12e-12x is almost zero but f1x is periodic, so there exist some β for which y=β intersect y=yx at infinitely many points.
