Let y = y(x) be the solution of the differential equation dy/dx + 2y = f(x), where f(x) = { 1, x ∈ [0,1]; 0, otherwise } If y(0) = 0, then (3/2) is

  1. (e² - 1)/(2e³)
  2. (e² - 1)/e³
  3. 1/(2e)
  4. (e² + 1)/(2e⁴)

Correct answer: (e² - 1)/(2e³)

Solution

On [0,1], dy/dx+2y=1 with y(0)=0 gives y=(1/2)(1-e^(-2x)), so y(1)=(1/2)(1-e^-2). For x>1, dy/dx+2y=0 so y(3/2)=y(1)e^-1 = (1/2)(e^-1-e^-3) = (e^2-1)/(2e^3).
