Find the solution of $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = {2^{y - x}}$.
Find the solution of $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = {2^{y - x}}$.
Official Solution
Given that $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = {2^{y - x}}$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{{2^y}}}{{{2^x}}}$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{{dy}}{{{2^y}}} = \frac{{dx}}{{{2^x}}}$
On integrationg both sides,
we get
$\int {{2^{ - y}}} dy = \int {{2^{ - x}}} dx$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{{ - {2^{ - y}}}}{{\log 2}} = \frac{{ - {2^{ - x}}}}{{\log 2}} + C$
$\Rightarrow$ $- {2^{ - y}} + {2^{ - x}} = + C\log 2$
$\Rightarrow$ ${2^{ - x}} - {2^{ - y}} = - C\log 2$
$\Rightarrow$ ${2^{ - x}} - {2^{ - y}} = K$
[where, $K = + C\log 2$]
