Q. Marcus tried to solve the differential equation dxdy=3x2y21. This is his work:dxdy=3x2y21Step 1: ∫3y2dy=∫x21dxStep 2: y3=−x1+CStep 3: y=±3−x1+CIs Marcus's work correct? If not, what is his mistake?Choose 1 answer:(A) Marcus's work is correct.(B) Step 2 is incorrect. Marcus didn't integrate 3y2 correctly.(C) Step 3 is incorrect. Marcus forgot to add a constant to the right-hand side at the end of the process.(D) Step 3 is incorrect. The right-hand side of the equation should be 3−x1+C.
Separate and Integrate Variables: Marcus starts by separating variables and integrating both sides of the differential equation.dxdy=3x2y21Multiplying both sides by dx and 3y2 gives:3y2dy=x21dxNow, integrate both sides:∫3y2dy=∫x21dx
Multiply and Integrate: Marcus integrates both sides of the equation.The integral of 3y2 with respect to y is y3, not 3y3, because the integral of ayn with respect to y is (a/(n+1))y(n+1) when n=−1.So, ∫3y2dy=y3+C1, where C1 is the constant of integration.On the right side, the integral of y0 with respect to y1 is y2, where y3 is the constant of integration.Therefore, the correct integration should be:y4
