  2. B \(2 e^2\)
  3. C \(\log 8-3\)
  4. D \(2 e^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 e^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the differential equation \(f(x) = f'(x)\), we can write it as \(\dfrac{df}{dx} = f(x)\). Separating the variables, we have \(\dfrac{df}{f} = dx\). Integrating both sides, we get \(\ln|f(x)| = x + C\), which implies \(f(x) = Ae^x\) for some constant \(A\). Using the…
