Solution
Given differential equation is 2(x2+x5/4)dy−y(x+x1/4)dx=2x9/4dx
⇒2(x2+x5/4)dxdy−y(x+x1/4)=2x9/4
⇒dxdy−2(x2+x5/4)y(x+x1/4)=2(x2+x5/4)2x9/4
⇒dxdy−2x(x+x1/4)y(x+x1/4)=2x5/4(x3/4+1)2x9/4
⇒dxdy−2xy=(x3/4+1)x
This is a linear differential equation of the type dxdy+Py=Q, where P=−2x1 and Q=x3/4+1x
Now, we have integrating factor I.F.=e∫Pdx
=e−∫2xdx=e−21logex
=elogex−21=x−21
Now, the solution of the linear differential equation is y×(I.F.)=∫Q×(I.F.)dx+C
⇒y⋅x−1/2=∫(x3/4+1)x⋅x−1/2dx+C
⇒y⋅x−1/2=∫(x3/4+1)x1/2dx+C
Put x=t4⇒dx=4t3dt
⇒y⋅x−1/2=∫(t3+1)t2⋅4t3dt
⇒y⋅x−1/2=4∫(t3+1)t2(t3+1−1)dt
⇒y⋅x−1/2=4∫t2dt−4∫t3+1t2dt+C
Let, t3+1=u⇒3t2dt=du
⇒y⋅x−1/2=4∫t2dt−34∫udu+C
⇒y⋅x−1/2=34t3−34loge∣u∣+C
⇒y⋅x−1/2=34t3−34loge(t3+1)+C
⇒y⋅x−1/2=34x3/4−34loge(x3/4+1)+C
Now, the curve passes through (1,1−34loge2)
⇒1−34loge2=34−34loge2+C
⇒C=−31
⇒y⋅x−1/2=34x3/4−34loge(x3/4+1)−31
⇒y=34x5/4−34xloge(x3/4+1)−3x
Hence, at x=16, we get
y(16)=34×32−34×4×loge9−34
⇒y(16)=3124−332loge3
⇒y(16)=4(331−38loge3).
