    The solution of \[{y}'-y=1,\ y(0)=-1\] is given by \[y(x)=\] [MP PET 2000]

    A)                 \[-\exp (x)\]            

    B)                 \[-\exp (-x)\]

    C)                 ? 1          

    D)                 \[\exp (x)-2\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{dy}{dx}-y=1\] Þ \[\frac{dy}{1+y}=dx\]         Integrating both sides \[\log (1+y)=x+c\]Þ \[1+y={{e}^{x}}.{{e}^{c}}\]         \[\because x=0,\,\,y=-1\].Then, \[1-1=e.{{e}^{c}}\]Þ\[{{e}^{c}}=0\]                                 Therefore solution \[1+y={{e}^{x}}\times 0\Rightarrow y(x)=-1\].
