A curve passes through the point (0, 5) and has the property that the slope of the curve at every point P is twice the y-coordinate of P. What is the equation of the curve? (Use x as the independent variable.

Answer:

[tex]y=5e^{2x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,y) represents a point P on the curve,

So, the slope of the curve at point P = [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]

According to the question,

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=2y[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{y}dy=2dx[/tex]

Integrating both sides,

[tex]\int \frac{dy}{y}=2dx[/tex]

[tex]ln y=2x+ln C[/tex]

[tex]ln y-ln C = 2x[/tex]

[tex]ln(\frac{y}{C})=2x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y}{C}=e^{2x}[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=Ce^{2x}[/tex]

Since, the curve is passing through the point (0, 5),

[tex]5=Ce^{0}\implies C=5[/tex]

Hence, the required equation of the curve is,

[tex]y=5e^{2x}[/tex]
