JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 9. differential equations

If a curve passes through the point \(\left( {2\,,\,\frac{7}{2}} \right)\) and has slope \(\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{{x^2}}}} \right)\)  at anypoint \((x, y)\) on it, then the ordinate of the point on the curve whose abscissa is \(- 2\) is

  1. A \(-\frac{3}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{2}\)
  4. D \(-\frac{5}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-\frac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Slope \(=\frac{d y}{d x}=1-\frac{1}{x^{2}}\) \(\Rightarrow \int d y=\int\left(1-\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right) d x\) \(\Rightarrow y=x+\frac{1}{x}+\mathrm{C},\) which is the equation of the curve since curve passes through the point \(\left(2, \frac{7}{2}\right)\)…
