Question

A curve passes through (2,0) and slope of the tangent at the point p(x,y) is (x+1)2+y3x+1, the area bounds by 

the curve and the x -axis is 

Moderate
Solution

 dydx=x+1+y3x+1, put X=x+1,Y=y3dYdXYX=X

I.F=e-1Xdx=e-log X=1X Solution of the D.E in YX=X1XdxYX=X+cy3x+1=x+1+c ----(1) If x=2,y=0   -33=3+c  c=-4sub in (1)y3=(x+1)24(x+1)=x22x3y=x22x meets x -axis ⇒y=0  x=0,2 Hence the required area =022xx2dx=483=43
