Class 12 Maths · Differential Equations · Short Answer #95

Find the general solution of y′ = 2^(y−x).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 2^(−x) − 2^(−y) = C, on real branches.
  1. Separate 2^(−y)dy = 2^(−x)dx.
  2. Integrate −2^(−y)/ln 2 = −2^(−x)/ln 2 + C₁.
  3. Thus 2^(−x) − 2^(−y) = C. Equivalently y = −log₂(2^(−x) − C), with 2^(−x) − C > 0.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Separate 2^(−y)dy = 2^(−x)dx.
  • [1 mark] Integrate −2^(−y)/ln 2 = −2^(−x)/ln 2 + C₁.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus 2^(−x) − 2^(−y) = C. Equivalently y = −log₂(2^(−x) − C), with 2^(−x) − C > 0.
