JEE Advanced 2018 — Paper 2 — Question 37

Let f:R→Rf: \mathrm{R} \rightarrow \mathrm{R} be a differentiable function with f(0)=0f(0)=0. If y=f(x)y=f(x) satisfies the differential equation dydx=(2+5y)(5y−2),\frac{d y}{d x}=(2+5 y)(5 y-2), then the value of lim⁡x→−∞f(x)\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} f(x) is \qquad .

Answer: 0.4

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

∫0ydy25y2−4=∫0xdx⇒125∫0ydyy2−(25)2=x\int_{0}^{y} \frac{d y}{25 y^{2}-4}=\int_{0}^{x} d x \Rightarrow \frac{1}{25} \int_{0}^{y} \frac{d y}{y^{2}-\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{2}}=x

⇒−125⋅12⋅25ln⁡∣25+y25−y∣=x\Rightarrow-\frac{1}{25} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot \frac{2}{5}} \ln \left|\frac{\frac{2}{5}+y}{\frac{2}{5}-y}\right|=x

⇒y=−25(1−e−20x1+e−20x)\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=-\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{1-\mathrm{e}^{-20 \mathrm{x}}}{1+\mathrm{e}^{-20 \mathrm{x}}}\right)

⇒lim⁡x→−∞y=0.4\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} y=0.4
