MCQ
The solution of $y' - y = 1,\;y(0) = - 1$ is given by $y(x) = $
  • A
    $ - \exp (x)$
  • B
    $ - \exp ( - x)$
  • $-1$
  • D
    $\exp (x) - 2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$-1$
c
(c) $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} - y = 1$ ==> $\frac{{dy}}{{1 + y}} = dx$

Integrating both sides $\log (1 + y) = x + c$ ==> $1 + y = {e^x}.{e^c}$

$\because x=0,\,\,y=-1$.Then, $1 - 1 = e.{e^c}$ ==> ${e^c} = 0$

Therefore solution $1 + y = {e^x} \times 0 \Rightarrow y(x) = - 1$.
