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 limt→∞y(t)        [2023]

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

Ans.

(2)

dydt+αy=γe-βt

I.F.=e∫αdt=eαt

Solution is given by

y·eαt=∫eαt·γe-βtdt=γ∫e(α-β)tdt

⇒y·eαt=γe(α-β)tα-β+c⇒y=γα-βe-βt+ce-αt

So, limt→∞y(t)=γα-βlimt→∞e-βt+climt→∞e-αt=0
