If the curve, y = y(x) represented by the solution of the differential equation (2xy2 −- y)dx + xdy = 0, passes through the intersection of the lines, 2x −- 3y = 1 and 3x + 2y = 8, then |y(1)| is equal to _________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given,

(2xy2−y)dx+xdx=0(2x{y^2} - y)dx + xdx = 0

⇒dydx+2y2−yx=0\Rightarrow {{dy} \over {dx}} + 2{y^2} - {y \over x} = 0

⇒−1y2dydx+1y(1x)=2\Rightarrow - {1 \over {{y^2}}}{{dy} \over {dx}} + {1 \over y}\left( {{1 \over x}} \right) = 2

1y=z{1 \over y} = z

−1y2dydx=dzdx- {1 \over {{y^2}}}{{dy} \over {dx}} = {{dz} \over {dx}}

⇒dzdx+z(1x)=2\Rightarrow {{dz} \over {dx}} + z\left( {{1 \over x}} \right) = 2

I. F. =e∫1xdx=x= {e^{\int {{1 \over x}dx} }} = x

∴\therefore z(x)=∫2(x)dx=x2+cz(x) = \int {2(x)dx} = {x^2} + c

⇒xy=x2+c\Rightarrow {x \over y} = {x^2} + c

As it passes through P(2, 1)

[Point of intersection of 2x−3y=12x - 3y = 1 and 3x+2y=83x + 2y = 8 ]

∴\therefore 21=4+c{2 \over 1} = 4 + c

⇒c=−2\Rightarrow c = - 2

⇒xy=x2−2\Rightarrow {x \over y} = {x^2} - 2

Put x = 1

1y=1−2=−1{1 \over y} = 1 - 2 = - 1

⇒y(1)=−1\Rightarrow y(1) = - 1

⇒∣y(1)∣ =1\Rightarrow |y(1)|\, = 1
