If a curve y = f(x) passes through the point (1, −1) and satisfies the differential equation, y(1 + xy)dx = x dy, then f(−1/2) is equal to -

  1. 2/5
  2. 4/5
  3. 2/5
  4. 4/5

Correct answer: 4/5

Solution

The differential equation can be rearranged and solved using separation of variables, leading to a solution that incorporates the initial condition given by the point (1, -1). Solving this yields the specific function f(x), and evaluating it at x = -1/2 gives the correct value of 4/5.
