Given differential equation is, dxdy+(2+x1)y=e−2x,x>0 IF=e∫(2+x1)dx=e2x+lnx=xe2x Complete solution is given by y(x)⋅xe2x=∫xe2x⋅e−2xdx+c =∫xdx+c y(x)⋅e2x⋅x=2x2+c Given, y(1)=21e−2 ∴21e−2⋅e2⋅1=21+c⇒c=0 ∴y(x)=2x2⋅xe−2x y(x)=2x⋅e−2x Differentiate both sides with respect to x y′(x)=2e−2x(1−2x)<0∀x∈(21,1) Hence, y(x) is decreasing in (21,1)
