If $y(x)$ is the solution of the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}+\left(\frac{2 x+1}{x}\right) y=e^{-2 x}, x>0,$ where $y(1)=\frac{1}{2} e^{-2},$ then:
  1. $y\left(\log _{e} 2\right)=\log _{e} 4$
  2. $y\left(\log _{e} 2\right)=\frac{\log _{e} 2}{4}$
  3. $y(x)$ is decreasing in $\left(\frac{1}{2}, 1\right)$
  4. $y(x)$ is decreasing in (0,1)

Solution

Given differential equation is, $\frac{d y}{d x}+\left(2+\frac{1}{x}\right) y=e^{-2 x}, x>0$ $\mathrm{IF}=e^{\int\left(2+\frac{1}{x}\right) d x}=e^{2 x+\ln x}=x e^{2 x}$ Complete solution is given by $y(x) \cdot x e^{2 x}=\int x e^{2 x} \cdot e^{-2 x} d x+c$ $=\int x d x+c$ $y(x) \cdot e^{2 x} \cdot x=\frac{x^{2}}{2}+c$ Given, $y(1)=\frac{1}{2} e^{-2}$ $\therefore \quad \frac{1}{2} e^{-2} \cdot e^{2} \cdot 1=\frac{1}{2}+c \Rightarrow c=0$ $\therefore \quad y(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{e^{-2 x}}{x}$ $y(x)=\frac{x}{2} \cdot e^{-2 x}$ Differentiate both sides with respect to $x$ $y^{\prime}(x)=\frac{e^{-2 x}}{2}(1-2 x) < 0 \forall x \in\left(\frac{1}{2}, 1\right)$ Hence, $y(x)$ is decreasing in $\left(\frac{1}{2}, 1\right)$
