Q. If f′(x)=f(x) and f(3)=e2, then f(4)=men for some integers m and n.What are m and n ?m=□n=□
Given Differential Equation: We are given that f′(x)=f(x). This is the differential equation for the exponential function. The general solution to this differential equation is f(x)=Cex, where C is a constant.
Finding Constant C: We are also given that f(3)=e2. We can use this information to find the value of the constant C. Substituting x=3 into the general solution, we get f(3)=Ce3. Since f(3)=e2, we can set Ce3=e2 and solve for C.
Specific Solution: Solving Ce3=e2 for C gives us C=e2−3=e−1. So the specific solution to the differential equation that satisfies the given condition is f(x)=e−1ex=ex−1.
Finding f(4): Now we want to find f(4). Substituting x=4 into the specific solution f(x)=e(x−1), we get f(4)=e(4−1)=e3.
Final Expression: We can express e3 as e2×e1. Since e2 is already given, we can write e3 as e2×e, which is the same as 1×e2×e. Therefore, m=1 and n=2+1=3.
