• A. \(e^{e^{2}}\)
• B. \(e^{\sqrt2e^{2}}\)
• C. \(e^{2e^{\sqrt2}}\)
• D. \(e^{2e^{2}}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \alpha^a \) given the differential equation and the points it passes through. Here's the step-by-step solution:

1. We start with the given differential equation:
   \((1+\log_e x) \frac{dx}{dy} - x \log_e x = e^y\)
2. Assume a solution curve \( f(x, y) = 0 \) that passes through the points (1,0) and \( (\alpha, 2) \).
3. First, substitute point (1, 0) into the equation and calculate:
   • \(\log_e 1 = 0\)
   • Thus, the equation becomes:
     \((1 + 0) \frac{dx}{dy} - 1 \times 0 = e^0\)
     Simplifying gives:
     \(\frac{dx}{dy} = 1\)
4. Now, substitute point \( (\alpha, 2) \).
   The equation will be:

   \((1+\log_e \alpha)\frac{dx}{dy} - \alpha \log_e \alpha = e^2\)
5. Since we know \(\frac{dx}{dy} = 1\), substitute this value into the equation:
   \((1+\log_e \alpha) - \alpha \log_e \alpha = e^2\)
6. Rearrange and simplify the equation:
   \(\log_e \alpha - \alpha \log_e \alpha = e^2 - 1\)
7. Factoring out \(\log_e \alpha\):
   \(\log_e \alpha (1 - \alpha) = e^2 - 1\)
8. We can assume a possible value for \(\alpha\) such that both sides are equal. Here, let \(\alpha = e^e\). Then:
   \(\log_e (e^e) = e\)
9. Therefore, substituting \(\alpha = e^e\):
   \(\log_e e^e (1 - e^e) = e (1 - e^e) = e^2 - 1\)
10. It follows from this that:
    \( \alpha^a = e^{2e^2} \)

Therefore, the correct answer is \(e^{2e^{2}}\).
