If $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = y + 5$ and $y(0) = 4$ then $y(\log 2)$ is equal to
- A$2$
- B$5$
- C$7$
- Correct answerD$13$
Solution
Given differential equation is $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = y + 5$
Separating the variables gives
$\dfrac{dy}{y + 5} = dx$
Integrating both sides gives
$\int \dfrac{dy}{y + 5} = \int dx$
$\log|y + 5| = x + C$
Using the initial condition $y(0) = 4$ gives
$\log(4 + 5) = 0 + C \Rightarrow C = \log 9$
Substituting $C$ back into the equation gives
$\log(y + 5) = x + \log 9$
$y + 5 = e^{x + \log 9} = 9e^x$
$y = 9e^x - 5$
Substituting $x = \log 2$ gives
$y(\log 2) = 9e^{\log 2} - 5$
$y(\log 2) = 9(2) - 5 = 13$
Answer: $13$
Separating the variables gives

$y + 5 = e^{x + \log 9} = 9e^x$
$y = 9e^x - 5$
Substituting $x = \log 2$ gives
$y(\log 2) = 9e^{\log 2} - 5$
$y(\log 2) = 9(2) - 5 = 13$
Answer: $13$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
