Let f(x) be a positive function such that the area bounded by y = f(x), y = 0 from x = 0 to x = a > 0 is . Then the differential equation, whose general solution is , where and are arbitrary constants, is [2024]
(3)
Given
On differentiating both sides, we get
i.e.,
Now,
... (i)
Again, on differentiating, we get ... (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
