Gradient of a curve is given by:
dy/dx= 2x/x^2+e
The curve passes through the point (0,2)
What is the equation of the curve?
dy/dx= 2x/x^2+e
The curve passes through the point (0,2)
What is the equation of the curve?
-
∫ 2x/(x^2 + e) dx
Let u = x^2 + e
then du = 2x dx
y = ∫ 1/u du
y = ln u + c
y = ln (x^2 + e) + c
Using the point (0,2),
2 = ln (0 + e) + c
2 = 1 + c
c = 1
y = ln(x^2 + e) + 1
Let u = x^2 + e
then du = 2x dx
y = ∫ 1/u du
y = ln u + c
y = ln (x^2 + e) + c
Using the point (0,2),
2 = ln (0 + e) + c
2 = 1 + c
c = 1
y = ln(x^2 + e) + 1
