Question

Find the equation of a curve passing through the point (2,3), given that the slope of the tangent to the curve at any point (x,y) is
2xy2

Open in App
Solution

as we know that slope of tangent is

dydx

it is given that

dydx=2xy2

y2dy=2xdx

Integrating both sides
We get,

y2dy= 2xdx

y33=2x22+c

y3=3x2+3c

Put C1=3c

y3=3x2+C1 (i)

Given that equation passes through (2,3)

Putting x=2,y=3 in (i) then we get,

3(2)2+C1=33

3×4+C1=27

C1=2712

C1=15

Putting C1 in (i) then we get,

y3=3x2+15

y=(3x2+15)13

Final Answer:
Hence, the required equation of the curve is

y=(3x2+15)13
