Analyzing the Setup
Welcome, future engineers! Today, we are going to dismantle a problem that, at first glance, looks like a chaotic mess of exponents and logarithms.
When you see an expression like
dxdy=2x+2x+yln22xy+2y⋅2x
it is natural to feel a moment of hesitation. But remember, in the JEE Advanced arena, complexity is often just a mask for elegance. Our job is to peel back the layers.
The Power of Factoring
Before we rush into integration, we must simplify. Look at the numerator: 2xy+2y⋅2x.
Both terms are dancing around the factor 2x. When we pull that out, we get 2x(y+2y).
Now, turn your gaze to the denominator: 2x+2x+yln2. Recall your exponent laws: 2x+y=2x⋅2y.
Suddenly, the denominator reveals its true form: 2x+2x⋅2yln2. Factoring out 2x here gives us 2x(1+2yln2).
When we place these back into our differential equation, the 2x terms cancel out beautifully. We are left with a much cleaner, more manageable equation:
The Detective Work of Integration
Now that we have separated our variables, we arrive at:
This is where the magic happens. If you look closely at the left-hand integral, you might notice something profound.
Let u=y+2y. If we differentiate u with respect to y, we get:
This is not a coincidence! The numerator is exactly the derivative of the denominator. Our integral transforms into the standard form ∫u1du, which is simply ln∣u∣.
Thus, our solution becomes:
The Final Estimation
We are given the initial condition y(0)=0. Plugging these values in, we find ln∣0+20∣=0+c, which simplifies to ln(1)=c, meaning c=0.
Our particular solution is:
Finally, we need to find x when y=1. Substituting this, we get:
To place this in an interval, we use the fact that e≈2.718. Since e1<3<e2, it follows that 1<ln3<2.
Therefore, x lies in the interval (1,2).
