Suppose y=y(x)y=y(x) be the solution curve to the differential equation dydx−y=2−e−x\frac{d y}{d x}-y=2-e^{-x} such that lim⁡x→∞y(x)\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty} y(x) is finite. If aa and bb are respectively the xx - and yy -intercepts of the tangent to the curve at x=0x=0 , then the value of a−4ba-4 b is equal to _____________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

IF =e−x= {e^{-x}}

y . e−x=−2e−x+e−2x2+Cy\,.\,{e^{-x}} = - 2{e^{ - x}} + {{{e^{ - 2x}}} \over 2} + C

⇒y=−2+e−x+Cex\Rightarrow y = - 2 + {e^{ - x}} + C{e^x}

lim⁡x→∞ y(x)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \,y(x) is finite so C=0C = 0

y=−2+e−xy = - 2 + {e^{ - x}}

⇒dydx=−e−x⇒dydx∣x=0=−1\Rightarrow {\left. {{{dy} \over {dx}} = - {e^{ - x}} \Rightarrow {{dy} \over {dx}}} \right|_{x = 0}} = - 1

Equation of tangent

y+1=−1(x−0)y + 1 = - 1(x - 0)

or y+x=−1y + x = - 1

So a=−1, b=−1a = - 1,\,b = - 1

⇒a−4b=3\Rightarrow a - 4b = 3
