Question
Suppose $y=y(x)$ be the solution curve to the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}-y=2-e^{-x}$ such that $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} y(x)$ is finite. If $a$ and $b$ are respectively the $x-$ and $y$-intercepts of the tangent to the curve at $x=0$, then the value of $a-4 b$ is equal to$....$

Answer

c
$\frac{d y}{d x}-y=2-e^{-x}$

$\text { I.F. }=e^{-\int d x}=e^{-x}$

$\therefore \text { solution of D.E }$

$y \cdot e^{-x}=\int\left(2 e^{-x}-e^{-2 x}\right) d x$

$\Rightarrow y=-2+\frac{e^{-x}}{2}+C \cdot e^{x}$

$\because \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} y$ is finite

$\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}\left(-2+\frac{ e ^{- x }}{2}+ C ^{ x }\right) \rightarrow \text { finite }$

This is possible only when $C =0$

$\therefore y = y ( x )=-2+\frac{ e ^{- x }}{2}$

$\frac{ dy }{ dx }=-\frac{1}{2} e ^{- x }$

$\left.\frac{ dy }{ dx }\right|_{ x =0}=-\frac{1}{2}= m , y (0)=-2+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{-3}{2}$

$\therefore$ equation of tangent

$y +\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}( x -0)$

$\Rightarrow x +2 y =-3$

$a =-3, b =\frac{-3}{2}$

$a -4 b =-3+6=3$
