Q.

Let y=y(t) be a solution of the differential equation dydt+αy=γe-βt where, α>0,β>0 and γ>0. Then limty(t)        [2023]

1 is -1  
2 is 0  
3 is 1  
4 does not exist  

Ans.

(2)

dydt+αy=γe-βt

I.F.=eαdt=eαt

Solution is given by

y·eαt=eαt·γe-βtdt=γe(α-β)tdt

y·eαt=γe(α-β)tα-β+cy=γα-βe-βt+ce-αt

So, limty(t)=γα-βlimte-βt+climte-αt=0
