Let be a differentiable function. If for all , then the value of f(3) is : [2025]
(1)
We have,
On differentiating both sides, we get
[Taking y = f(x)]
This is a linear differential equation
Solution is
... (i)
Now, using original equation, we have
Put x = 1, we get 0 = 5f(1) – 10 f(1) = 2
Substituting this value in equation (i), we get
