Let y=y1(x) and y=y2(x) be the solution curves of the differential equation dydx=y+7 with initial conditions y1(0)=0 and y2(0)=1 respectively. Then the curves y=y1(x) and y=y2(x) intersect at [2023]
(3)
We have, dydx=y+7, y1(0)=0, y2(0)=1
∫dyy+7=∫dx
ln|y+7|=x+k ⇒ y+7=ex+k=ex·ek=Cex [∵ ek=C]
⇒y=-7+Cex
y1(0)=0 ⇒ 0=-7+C ⇒ C=7
y2(0)=1 ⇒ 1=-7+C ⇒ C=8
∴ y1(x)=-7+7ex and y2(x)=-7+8ex
If y1(x) and y2(x) intersect at any point, then the values of both curves will be the same at that point.
∴ -7+7ex=-7+8ex ⇒ ex=0 ⇒ Not possible
∴ The curves y1(x) and y2(x) will not intersect at any point.
