Q.

Let f be a differentiable function such that 2(x+2)2f(x)3(x+2)2=100x(t+2)f(t)dt, x0. Then f(2) is equal to _________.          [2025]

We have,

2(x+2)2f(x)3(x+2)2=100x(t+2)f(t)dt, x0          ... (i)

On differentiating, we get

4(x+2)f(x)+2(x+2)2f'(x)6(x+2)=10(x+2)f(x)

 2(x+2)2f'(x)6(x+2)f(x)=6(x+2)

 (x+2)f'(x)3f(x)=3

 (x+2)dydx3y=3          [ f'(x)=dydx and f(x)=y]

 dydx=3(1+y)(x+2)  dy3(1+y)=dx(x+2)

Integrating on both sides, we get

dy(1+y)=3dx(x+2)  ln(1+y)=3ln(x+2)+lnC

 (1+y)=C(x+2)3          ... (ii)

Put x = 0 in equation (i), we get

2(2)2f(0)3(2)2=0  f(0)=32

From (ii), 1+32=C(2)3  C=516

  y=516(x+2)31=f(x)

  f(2)=516×641=19
