If the relation x^k + y^k = α^k holds for positive constants k and α, and the differential equation dy/dx + (y/x)^(1/3) = 0 is satisfied, then the value of k is:

  1. 3/2
  2. 4/3
  3. 2/3
  4. 1/3

Correct answer: 2/3

Solution

The differential equation can be solved using separation of variables, leading to a relationship between x and y that matches the form of the given relation. By analyzing the resulting expressions, it can be shown that the exponent k must equal 2/3 to satisfy the equation.
