A curve passes through the point (2, 7/2) and has slope (1 - 1/x²) at every point (x, y) on it. What is the y-coordinate of the point on the curve whose x-coordinate is -2?

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

Correct answer: -3/2

Solution

Integrating gives y = x + 1/x + C; the point (2, 7/2) gives C = 1, and at x = -2, y = -2 - 1/2 + 1 = -3/2.
