The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the curve given the slope of the tangent at a point (x, y) on the curve, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the differential equation The slope of the tangent is given by: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y - 1}{x^2 + x} \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation We can rearrange this equation to separate the variables: \[ \frac{dy}{y - 1} = \frac{dx}{x^2 + x} \] ### Step 3: Integrate both sides Now, we will integrate both sides: \[ \int \frac{dy}{y - 1} = \int \frac{dx}{x^2 + x} \] The left side integrates to: \[ \ln |y - 1| \] For the right side, we can factor the denominator: \[ x^2 + x = x(x + 1) \] We can use partial fraction decomposition: \[ \frac{1}{x(x + 1)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x + 1} \] Multiplying through by the denominator \(x(x + 1)\) gives: \[ 1 = A(x + 1) + Bx \] Setting \(x = 0\) gives \(A = 1\), and setting \(x = -1\) gives \(B = -1\). Thus: \[ \frac{1}{x(x + 1)} = \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x + 1} \] Now we integrate: \[ \int \left( \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x + 1} \right) dx = \ln |x| - \ln |x + 1| = \ln \left| \frac{x}{x + 1} \right| \] ### Step 4: Combine the results Combining both integrals, we have: \[ \ln |y - 1| = \ln \left| \frac{x}{x + 1} \right| + C \] ### Step 5: Exponentiate both sides Exponentiating both sides gives: \[ |y - 1| = k \cdot \frac{x}{x + 1} \] where \(k = e^C\). ### Step 6: Remove the absolute value We can drop the absolute value (assuming \(y - 1\) is positive for the curve): \[ y - 1 = k \cdot \frac{x}{x + 1} \] Thus: \[ y = k \cdot \frac{x}{x + 1} + 1 \] ### Step 7: Use the point M(1, 0) to find k Substituting the point \(M(1, 0)\): \[ 0 = k \cdot \frac{1}{1 + 1} + 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = \frac{k}{2} + 1 \implies k = -2 \] ### Step 8: Substitute k back into the equation Substituting \(k\) back, we get: \[ y = -2 \cdot \frac{x}{x + 1} + 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ y = -\frac{2x}{x + 1} + 1 = 1 - \frac{2x}{x + 1} = \frac{x + 1 - 2x}{x + 1} = \frac{1 - x}{x + 1} \] ### Final equation of the curve Thus, the equation of the curve is: \[ y = \frac{1 - x}{x + 1} \]
