Substituting C = 1 in equation (3) we get:

This is the required particular solution of the given differential equation.

Answer:

This equation is a linear differential equation of the form

The general solution of the given differential equation is given by,

Answer:

The given differential equation is:

This equation is a linear differential equation of the form

The general solution of the given differential equation is given by,

Now,

Therefore, equation (1) becomes:

Substituting in equation (1), we get:

This is the required particular solution of the given differential equation.

Answer:

Integrating both sides, we get:

Substituting this value in equation (1), we get:

Now, at x = 0 and y = 0, equation (2) becomes:

Substituting C = 1 in equation (2), we get:

This is the required particular solution of the given differential equation.

Answer:

Let the population at any instant (t) be y.

It is given that the rate of increase of population is proportional to the number of inhabitants at any instant.

Integrating both sides, we get:

log y = kt + C … (1)

In the year 1999, t = 0 and y = 20000.

Therefore, we get:

log 20000 = C … (2)

In the year 2004, t = 5 and y = 25000.

Therefore, we get:

In the year 2009, t = 10 years.

Now, on substituting the values of t, k, and C in equation (1), we get:

Hence, the population of the village in 2009 will be 31250.
