Question
Find the particular solution of the differential equation $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-4\text{xy}^2$ given that $\text{y}=1.$ when $\text{x}=0.$

Answer

We have,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-4\text{xy}^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}^2}\text{dy}=-4\text{x dx}$
Integrating both sides, we get
$\int\frac{1}{\text{y}^2}\text{dy}=-4\int\text{x dx}$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{1}{\text{y}}=-4\times\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}+\text{C}$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{1}{\text{y}}=-2\text{x}^2+\text{C}...(1)$
It is given that at $\text{x}=0,\text{y}=1.$
Substituting the valuse of x and y in (1), we get
$\text{C}=-1$
Therefore, substituting the value of C in (1), we get
$-\frac{1}{\text{y}}=-2\text{x}^2-1$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{1}{2\text{x}^2+1}$
Hence, $\text{y}=\frac{1}{2\text{x}^2+1}$ is the required solution.
