What is the solution of the differential equation with y(0) = 0 ?

For the next two (02) items that follow : Consider the differential equation \( e^{x+y} \frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x-y} \)

  1. A. \( y = \ln(2x+1) \)
  2. B. \( y = \ln(2x-1) \)
  3. C. \( 2y = \ln(2x+1) \)
  4. D. \( 2y = \ln(2x-1) \)

Correct Answer: C. \( 2y = \ln(2x+1) \)

Explanation

From the simplified equation \( e^{2y} dy = dx \), integrating both sides yields \( \frac{1}{2} e^{2y} = x + C \). Using y(0) = 0 gives \( C = 1/2 \). The equation becomes \( e^{2y} = 2x + 1 \), which simplifies to \( 2y = \ln(2x+1) \).
