Answer:

The given statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$f(x) = \text{In } x$

The given statement is

$f(x - 2) = f(x) - f(2), x > 2$

Putting the values on the right side of the given statement

$f(x-2)\\=\text{ln }(x-2) \neq \text{ln }x - \text{ln }2$

Thus, the given statement is false.

This can be explained with the help of an example:

For x = 3

$f(x-2) = f(3-2) = f(1)\\=\text{ln }1 = 0\\f(x)-f(2)\\=\text{ln }3-\text{ln }2 \\=0.4054$

Please I need help with differential equation. Thank you

1. I suppose the ODE is supposed to be

$\mathrm dt\dfrac{y+y^{1/2}}{1-t}=\mathrm dy(t+1)$

Solving for $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}$ gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{y+y^{1/2}}{1-t^2}$

which is undefined when $t=\pm1$ . The interval of validity depends on what your initial value is. In this case, it's $t=-\dfrac12$ , so the largest interval on which a solution can exist is $-1\le t\le1$ .

2. Separating the variables gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{y+y^{1/2}}=\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{1-t^2}$

Integrate both sides. On the left, we have

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dy}{y^{1/2}(y^{1/2}+1)}=2\int\frac{\mathrm dz}{z+1}$

where we substituted $z=y^{1/2}$ - or $z^2=y$ - and $2z\,\mathrm dz=\mathrm dy$ - or $\mathrm dz=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{2y^{1/2}}$ .

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dy}{y^{1/2}(y^{1/2}+1)}=2\ln|z+1|=2\ln(y^{1/2}+1)$

On the right, we have

$\dfrac1{1-t^2}=\dfrac12\left(\dfrac1{1-t}+\dfrac1{1+t}\right)$

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dt}{1-t^2}=\dfrac12(\ln|1-t|+\ln|1+t|)+C=\ln(1-t^2)^{1/2}+C$

So

$2\ln(y^{1/2}+1)=\ln(1-t^2)^{1/2}+C$

$\ln(y^{1/2}+1)=\dfrac12\ln(1-t^2)^{1/2}+C$

$y^{1/2}+1=e^{\ln(1-t^2)^{1/4}+C}$

$y^{1/2}=C(1-t^2)^{1/4}-1$

I'll leave the solution in this form for now to make solving for $C$ easier. Given that $y\left(-\dfrac12\right)=1$ , we get

$1^{1/2}=C\left(1-\left(-\dfrac12\right)^2\right))^{1/4}-1$

$2=C\left(\dfrac54\right)^{1/4}$

$C=2\left(\dfrac45\right)^{1/4}$

and so our solution is

$\boxed{y(t)=\left(2\left(\dfrac45-\dfrac45t^2\right)^{1/4}-1\right)^2}$
