Written solution

(1+ex)y′+yex=1(1+e^x)y' + y e^x = 1

y(0)=2y(0)=2

To find: which statement(s) are true\text{To find: which statement(s) are true}

(1+ex)y′+exy=1  ⟺  ddx[(1+ex)y]=1(1+e^x)y' + e^x y = 1 \iff \dfrac{d}{dx}\big[(1+e^x)y\big] = 1

(1+ex)y=x+C(1+e^x)y = x + C

y(0)=2⇒(1+1)⋅2=C⇒C=4y(0)=2 \Rightarrow (1+1)\cdot 2 = C \Rightarrow C = 4

y(x)=x+41+exy(x) = \dfrac{x+4}{1+e^x}

y(−4)=01+e−4=0⇒(1) is truey(-4) = \dfrac{0}{1+e^{-4}} = 0 \Rightarrow (1)\ \text{is true}

y(−2)=21+e−2≠0⇒(2) is falsey(-2) = \dfrac{2}{1+e^{-2}} \neq 0 \Rightarrow (2)\ \text{is false}

y′(x)=1−(x+3)ex(1+ex)2y'(x) = \dfrac{1 - (x+3)e^x}{(1+e^x)^2}

y′=0  ⟺  (x+3)ex=1y'=0 \iff (x+3)e^x = 1

g(x)=(x+3)ex−1:g(−1)=2e−1<0,g(0)=2>0g(x)=(x+3)e^x-1:\quad g(-1)=\dfrac{2}{e}-1<0,\quad g(0)=2>0

⇒a critical point in (−1,0): (3) true, (4) false\Rightarrow \text{a critical point in } (-1,0):\ (3)\ \text{true},\ (4)\ \text{false}

Answer: statements (1) and (3)\boxed{\text{Answer: statements (1) and (3)}}
