Application of differential equations Questions in English

(A) The rate of change of population $p$ with respect to time $t$ is proportional to the population itself,given by the differential equation: $\frac{dp}{dt} = \frac{3}{100} p$.
Separating the variables,we get $\frac{dp}{p} = \frac{3}{100} dt$.
Integrating both sides,we have $\int \frac{dp}{p} = \int \frac{3}{100} dt$.
This results in $\ln(p) = \frac{3t}{100} + K$,where $K$ is the constant of integration.
Exponentiating both sides,we get $p = e^{\frac{3t}{100} + K} = e^K \cdot e^{\frac{3t}{100}}$.
Letting $C = e^K$,we obtain the equation $p = C e^{\frac{3t}{100}}$.

(A) The slope of the tangent to the curve at any point $(x, y)$ is given by $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2y}{x}$.
Separating the variables,we get $\frac{dy}{y} = \frac{2dx}{x}$.
Integrating both sides,we have $\int \frac{dy}{y} = 2 \int \frac{dx}{x}$,which gives $\ln|y| = 2 \ln|x| + C$.
This simplifies to $\ln|y| = \ln|x^2| + C$,or $y = kx^2$,where $k = e^C$.
Since the curve passes through $(3, -4)$,we substitute these values: $-4 = k(3)^2$,which implies $-4 = 9k$,so $k = -\frac{4}{9}$.
Thus,the equation of the curve is $y = -\frac{4}{9}x^2$,which can be rewritten as $4x^2 + 9y = 0$.

(D) Let the initial population be $P$ and the rate of growth be $r = 10 \% = 0.1$.
Assuming continuous growth,the population $P(t)$ at time $t$ is given by $P(t) = P_0 e^{rt}$.
For the population to double,$P(t) = 2P_0$.
$2P_0 = P_0 e^{0.1t} \Rightarrow 2 = e^{0.1t}$.
Taking the natural logarithm on both sides: $\ln 2 = 0.1t$.
$t = \frac{\ln 2}{0.1} = 10 \ln 2 \text{ years}$.
If the growth is compounded annually,$2P = P(1 + 0.1)^n \Rightarrow 2 = (1.1)^n$.
Taking $\log_{10}$ on both sides: $\log 2 = n \log 1.1$.
$n = \frac{\log 2}{\log 1.1} \approx \frac{0.3010}{0.0414} \approx 7.27 \text{ years}$.
Since the result $10 \ln 2$ or $7.27$ does not match the options provided,the correct choice is $D$.

(D) Given the differential equation: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y+1}{x-1}$.
Separating the variables,we get: $\frac{1}{y+1} dy = \frac{1}{x-1} dx$.
Integrating both sides: $\int \frac{1}{y+1} dy = \int \frac{1}{x-1} dx$.
This gives: $\ln|y+1| = \ln|x-1| + \ln|C|$,which simplifies to $y+1 = C(x-1)$.
Using the initial condition $y(1) = 2$,we substitute $x=1$ and $y=2$ into the equation:
$2+1 = C(1-1) \Rightarrow 3 = C(0)$.
This implies $3 = 0$,which is a contradiction.
Since the initial condition $y(1) = 2$ is given at a point where the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$ is undefined (at $x=1$),the solution does not exist.
Therefore,the number of solutions is $0$.

(A) Let the point on the curve be $(x, y)$.
The equation of the tangent at $(x, y)$ is given by $Y - y = \frac{dy}{dx}(X - x)$,where $(X, Y)$ are the coordinates of any point on the tangent.
The $x$-intercept is found by setting $Y = 0$: $-y = \frac{dy}{dx}(X - x) \Rightarrow X = x - y \frac{dx}{dy}$.
The $y$-intercept is found by setting $X = 0$: $Y - y = \frac{dy}{dx}(-x) \Rightarrow Y = y - x \frac{dy}{dx}$.
According to the problem,the $x$-intercept is $2x$ and the $y$-intercept is $2y$.
So,$x - y \frac{dx}{dy} = 2x \Rightarrow -y \frac{dx}{dy} = x \Rightarrow -\frac{dx}{x} = \frac{dy}{y}$.
Integrating both sides: $-\int \frac{dx}{x} = \int \frac{dy}{y} \Rightarrow -\ln|x| = \ln|y| + \ln|C|$.
This simplifies to $\ln|y| + \ln|x| = \ln|C|$,which gives $xy = C$.

(B) Given differential equation is $y \frac{dy}{dx} + x = c$.
Separating the variables,we get $y \, dy = (c - x) \, dx$.
Integrating both sides,we have $\int y \, dy = \int (c - x) \, dx$.
This gives $\frac{y^2}{2} = cx - \frac{x^2}{2} + k$,where $k$ is the constant of integration.
Multiplying by $2$,we get $y^2 = 2cx - x^2 + 2k$,which simplifies to $x^2 - 2cx + y^2 = 2k$.
Completing the square for $x$,we get $(x^2 - 2cx + c^2) + y^2 = 2k + c^2$.
Thus,$(x - c)^2 + y^2 = R^2$,where $R^2 = 2k + c^2$.
This is the equation of a family of circles with centres at $(c, 0)$,which lie on the $x$-axis.

(D) The length of the sub-tangent at any point $(x, y)$ on a curve is given by the formula: $\text{Length of sub-tangent} = \left| \frac{y}{dy/dx} \right|$.
According to the problem,the length of the sub-tangent is proportional to the abscissa $x$. Let the constant of proportionality be $1/k$ (or simply $k$,but to match the options,we use $k$ as the proportionality constant such that $\frac{y}{dy/dx} = kx$).
Thus,$\frac{y}{dy/dx} = kx$.
Rearranging the terms to separate the variables,we get: $\frac{dy}{y} = \frac{1}{k} \frac{dx}{x}$.
Integrating both sides: $\int \frac{dy}{y} = \frac{1}{k} \int \frac{dx}{x}$.
This gives: $\ln|y| = \frac{1}{k} \ln|x| + \ln|C|$.
Using logarithmic properties: $\ln|y| = \ln|x^{1/k}| + \ln|C| = \ln|C x^{1/k}|$.
Therefore,the equation of the curve is $y = C x^{1/k}$.

(A) Given,the slope of the tangent is $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y^2-x^2}{2xy}$.
At the point $\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$,the slope of the tangent $m_t$ is:
$m_t = \frac{(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^2 - (\frac{1}{2})^2}{2(\frac{1}{2})(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})} = \frac{\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{\frac{2}{4}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
The slope of the normal $m_n$ is given by $-\frac{1}{m_t} = -\sqrt{3}$.
The equation of the normal at $\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$ is:
$y - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = -\sqrt{3}(x - \frac{1}{2})$
$y - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = -\sqrt{3}x + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\sqrt{3}x + y = \sqrt{3}$.

(C) The slope of the tangent at any point $(x, y)$ is given by $\frac{dy}{dx} = xy$.
At the point $(\sqrt{2}, e)$,the slope of the tangent is $m = \sqrt{2}e$.
The slope of the normal at this point is $m' = -\frac{1}{m} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}e}$.
The equation of the normal at $(\sqrt{2}, e)$ is given by $(y - e) = m'(x - \sqrt{2})$.
Substituting $m'$,we get $y - e = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}e}(x - \sqrt{2})$.
Multiplying by $\sqrt{2}e$,we get $\sqrt{2}ey - \sqrt{2}e^2 = -x + \sqrt{2}$.
Rearranging the terms,$x + \sqrt{2}ey = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2}e^2$.
Dividing by $\sqrt{2}(1 + e^2)$,we get $\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}(1 + e^2)} + \frac{\sqrt{2}ey}{\sqrt{2}(1 + e^2)} = 1$.
Comparing this with $ax + by = 1$,we have $a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}(1 + e^2)}$ and $b = \frac{\sqrt{2}e}{\sqrt{2}(1 + e^2)} = \frac{e}{1 + e^2}$.
Therefore,$\frac{b}{a} = \frac{e}{1 + e^2} \times \sqrt{2}(1 + e^2) = \sqrt{2}e$.

(A) Let the principal be $P$. Given that the principal increases continuously at a rate of $6 \%$ per year,we have the differential equation:
$\frac{dP}{dt} = \frac{6}{100} P = 0.06 P$
Separating the variables,we get:
$\frac{dP}{P} = 0.06 dt$
Integrating both sides:
$\int \frac{dP}{P} = \int 0.06 dt$
$\log P = 0.06 t + C$
Initially,at $t = 0$,$P = 6000$. So,$\log 6000 = C$.
Thus,$\log P = 0.06 t + \log 6000$,which implies $\log(\frac{P}{6000}) = 0.06 t$.
We want to find the time $t$ when the principal doubles,i.e.,$P = 12000$.
$\log(\frac{12000}{6000}) = 0.06 t$
$\log 2 = \frac{6}{100} t$
$t = \frac{100}{6} \log 2 = \frac{50}{3} \log 2$
Therefore,the time required is $\frac{50}{3} \log 2$ years. Option $(A)$ is correct.

(D) Given the general solution $y = At^2 + Bt^{-1}$.
First derivative: $y' = 2At - Bt^{-2}$.
Second derivative: $y'' = 2A + 2Bt^{-3}$.
Substitute $y, y', y''$ into the differential equation $f(t) y'' + g(t) y' + h(t) y = 0$:
$f(t)(2A + 2Bt^{-3}) + g(t)(2At - Bt^{-2}) + h(t)(At^2 + Bt^{-1}) = 0$.
Group terms with $A$ and $B$:
$A[2f(t) + 2t g(t) + t^2 h(t)] + B[2t^{-3} f(t) - t^{-2} g(t) + t^{-1} h(t)] = 0$.
Since this holds for any $A$ and $B$,the coefficients must be zero:
$2f(t) + 2t g(t) + t^2 h(t) = 0$ $(1)$
$2t^{-3} f(t) - t^{-2} g(t) + t^{-1} h(t) = 0 \implies 2f(t) - t g(t) + t^2 h(t) = 0$ $(2)$
Subtracting $(2)$ from $(1)$: $3t g(t) = 0 \implies g(t) = 0$.
Substituting $g(t) = 0$ into $(1)$: $2f(t) + t^2 h(t) = 0$.

(A) The length of the sub-tangent is given by the formula $y \cdot \frac{dx}{dy}$.
Given that the sub-tangent is double the abscissa $(x)$,we have the differential equation:
$y \cdot \frac{dx}{dy} = 2x$
Rearranging the terms to separate the variables:
$\frac{dx}{x} = 2 \frac{dy}{y}$
Integrating both sides:
$\int \frac{1}{x} dx = 2 \int \frac{1}{y} dy$
$\log |x| = 2 \log |y| + \log |C|$
Using logarithmic properties:
$\log |x| = \log |C y^2|$
Taking the exponential of both sides,we get:
$x = C y^2$

(A) Given the differential equation $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2} = 0$.
Integrating both sides with respect to $x$,we get $\frac{d y}{d x} = a$,where $a$ is an arbitrary constant.
Integrating again with respect to $x$,we get $y = ax + b$,where $b$ is another arbitrary constant.
This equation $y = ax + b$ is the general form of the equation of a straight line.

(D) The length of the subnormal at any point $(x, y)$ is given by $y \frac{dy}{dx}$.
Given $y \frac{dy}{dx} = x - 1$.
Integrating both sides with respect to $x$:
$\int y \, dy = \int (x - 1) \, dx$
$\frac{y^2}{2} = \frac{x^2}{2} - x + C$
$y^2 = x^2 - 2x + 2C$.
Since the curve passes through $(1, 2)$,we substitute $x = 1$ and $y = 2$:
$2^2 = 1^2 - 2(1) + 2C$
$4 = 1 - 2 + 2C$
$4 = -1 + 2C \implies 2C = 5$.
Substituting $2C = 5$ into the equation:
$y^2 = x^2 - 2x + 5$
$y^2 - (x^2 - 2x + 1) = 4$
$y^2 - (x - 1)^2 = 4$
Dividing by $4$:
$\frac{y^2}{4} - \frac{(x - 1)^2}{4} = 1$.
This is a hyperbola with center $(1, 0)$.
The vertices of the hyperbola $\frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2} = 1$ are $(h, k \pm a)$.
Here $h = 1, k = 0, a = 2$.
Vertices are $(1, 0 \pm 2)$,i.e.,$(1, 2)$ and $(1, -2)$.
Comparing with the options,$(1, 2)$ is a vertex.

(B) The length of the subnormal at any point $(x, y)$ is given by $|y \frac{dy}{dx}| = k$.
This implies $y \frac{dy}{dx} = \pm k$.
Separating the variables,we get $y \, dy = \pm k \, dx$.
Integrating both sides,we obtain $\int y \, dy = \int \pm k \, dx$.
This results in $\frac{y^2}{2} = \pm kx + C$,where $C$ is the constant of integration.
Multiplying by $2$,we get $y^2 = \pm 2kx + 2C$.
Letting $A = 2C$,we have $y^2 - A = \pm 2kx$.
Thus,the equation of the family of curves is $y^2 - A = 2Kx$ (considering the positive constant form).

(B) According to the given information,the slope of the curve at any point $(x, y)$ is given by $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2y}$.
By separating the variables,we get $2y \, dy = dx$.
Integrating both sides,we have $\int 2y \, dy = \int dx$,which gives $y^2 = x + c$.
Since the curve passes through the point $(3, 4)$,we substitute $x = 3$ and $y = 4$ into the equation: $4^2 = 3 + c$,which implies $16 = 3 + c$,so $c = 13$.
Thus,the equation of the curve is $y^2 = x + 13$.
This equation is of the form $y^2 = 4a(x - h)$,which represents a parabola.

(C) Given the differential equation: $\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{x(x^2+y^2-1)}{y(2(x^2+y^2)+1)} = 0$
Rearranging the terms: $y(2(x^2+y^2)+1) dy + x(x^2+y^2-1) dx = 0$
$2y(x^2+y^2) dy + y dy + x(x^2+y^2) dx - x dx = 0$
$(x^2+y^2)(2y dy + x dx) + y dy - x dx = 0$
Let $u = x^2+y^2$,then $du = 2x dx + 2y dy$.
This can be rewritten as: $(x^2+y^2+2)(2y dy + x dx) - 3x dx = 0$
Dividing by $(x^2+y^2+2)$: $2y dy + x dx = \frac{3x dx}{x^2+y^2+2}$
This is not quite right,let's use the substitution $v = x^2+y^2+2$,so $dv = 2x dx + 2y dy$.
The equation is $2y(x^2+y^2+2) dy + x(x^2+y^2+2) dx - 3x dx - 3y dy = 0$
$(x^2+y^2+2)(2y dy + x dx) = 3x dx + 3y dy = \frac{3}{2} d(x^2+y^2+2)$
Integrating both sides: $\int (x^2+y^2+2) d(x^2+y^2+2) = \int 3 d(x^2+y^2+2)$ is incorrect.
Correct approach: $\frac{2y dy + x dx}{x^2+y^2+2} = \frac{3}{2} \frac{2x dx + 2y dy}{x^2+y^2+2}$
Integrating: $x^2 + 2y^2 - 3 \log(x^2+y^2+2) = c$.

(D) Given the differential equation: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x-5y+3}{5x+2y-3}$
Rearranging the terms: $(5x+2y-3)dy = (2x-5y+3)dx$
$(5x+2y-3)dy - (2x-5y+3)dx = 0$
$5x dy + 2y dy - 3 dy - 2x dx + 5y dx - 3 dx = 0$
Group the terms: $5(x dy + y dx) + (2y dy - 2x dx) - (3 dy + 3 dx) = 0$
This can be written as: $5 d(xy) + d(y^2) - d(x^2) - 3 d(x+y) = 0$
Integrating both sides: $5xy + y^2 - x^2 - 3(x+y) = C$
Since the curve passes through $(1,1)$,substitute $x=1$ and $y=1$:
$5(1)(1) + (1)^2 - (1)^2 - 3(1+1) = C$
$5 + 1 - 1 - 6 = C \Rightarrow C = -1$
Substituting $C$ back into the equation: $5xy + y^2 - x^2 - 3x - 3y = -1$
Rearranging: $x^2 - 5xy - y^2 + 3x + 3y - 1 = 0$
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

(C) Let the point $P$ be $(x, y)$. The slope of the tangent at $P$ is $\frac{dy}{dx}$.
The slope of the normal at $P$ is $-\frac{dx}{dy}$.
The equation of the normal at $P(x, y)$ is $Y - y = -\frac{dx}{dy}(X - x)$.
To find the point $G$ where the normal meets the $x$-axis,set $Y = 0$:
$-y = -\frac{dx}{dy}(X - x) \implies y \frac{dy}{dx} = X - x \implies X = x + y \frac{dy}{dx}$.
The point $G$ is $(x + y \frac{dy}{dx}, 0)$.
The distance of $G$ from the origin is $|x + y \frac{dy}{dx}|$. Given that this distance is twice the abscissa of $P$ (which is $x$),we have:
$x + y \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x \implies y \frac{dy}{dx} = x$.
Integrating both sides with respect to $x$:
$\int y \, dy = \int x \, dx \implies \frac{y^2}{2} = \frac{x^2}{2} + C \implies y^2 - x^2 = 2C$.
This represents a rectangular hyperbola.

(D) Given the substitution $z = \log \tan \frac{x}{2}$.
Then,$\frac{dz}{dx} = \frac{1}{\tan(x/2)} \cdot \sec^2(x/2) \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{\sin x} = \operatorname{cosec} x$.
Now,$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{dz} \cdot \frac{dz}{dx} = \operatorname{cosec} x \frac{dy}{dz}$.
Next,$\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \operatorname{cosec} x \frac{dy}{dz} \right) = \frac{d}{dz} \left( \operatorname{cosec} x \frac{dy}{dz} \right) \cdot \frac{dz}{dx} = \left( -\operatorname{cosec} x \cot x \frac{dy}{dz} + \operatorname{cosec} x \frac{d^2 y}{dz^2} \right) \operatorname{cosec} x = \operatorname{cosec}^2 x \frac{d^2 y}{dz^2} - \operatorname{cosec} x \cot x \frac{dy}{dz}$.
Substituting these into the original equation $\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + \cot x \frac{dy}{dx} + 4y \operatorname{cosec}^2 x = 0$:
$\left( \operatorname{cosec}^2 x \frac{d^2 y}{dz^2} - \operatorname{cosec} x \cot x \frac{dy}{dz} \right) + \cot x (\operatorname{cosec} x \frac{dy}{dz}) + 4y \operatorname{cosec}^2 x = 0$.
$\operatorname{cosec}^2 x \frac{d^2 y}{dz^2} + 4y \operatorname{cosec}^2 x = 0$.
Dividing by $\operatorname{cosec}^2 x$,we get $\frac{d^2 y}{dz^2} + 4y = 0$.

(C) Let the point of contact be $(x_1, y_1)$. The equation of the tangent at $(x_1, y_1)$ is $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$,where $m = \frac{dy}{dx}$.
Since the segment of the tangent between the coordinate axes is bisected at $(x_1, y_1)$,the points where the tangent meets the axes are $(2x_1, 0)$ and $(0, 2y_1)$.
The slope of the tangent is $m = \frac{2y_1 - 0}{0 - 2x_1} = -\frac{y_1}{x_1}$.
Thus,$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{y}{x}$.
Separating variables,we get $\frac{dy}{y} = -\frac{dx}{x}$.
Integrating both sides,$\ln y = -\ln x + C_0$,which implies $\ln(xy) = C_0$,or $xy = C$.
Since the curve passes through $(3, 2)$,we have $3 \times 2 = C$,so $C = 6$.
Therefore,the equation of the curve is $xy = 6$.

(A) Let the tangent at $P(x, y)$ be $Y - y = \frac{dy}{dx}(X - x)$.
Let $y' = \frac{dy}{dx}$. The tangent is $Y - y = y'(X - x)$.
For point $A$ ($X$-axis),set $Y = 0$: $-y = y'(X - x) \Rightarrow X = x - \frac{y}{y'}$. So,$A = \left(x - \frac{y}{y'}, 0\right)$.
For point $B$ ($Y$-axis),set $X = 0$: $Y - y = y'(-x) \Rightarrow Y = y - xy'$. So,$B = (0, y - xy')$.
Given $AP:BP = 3:1$. Using the section formula for point $P(x, y)$ dividing $AB$ in ratio $3:1$:
$x = \frac{1 \cdot (x - y/y') + 3 \cdot 0}{3 + 1} = \frac{x - y/y'}{4} \Rightarrow 4x = x - \frac{y}{y'} \Rightarrow 3x = -\frac{y}{y'} \Rightarrow 3xy' = -y \Rightarrow 3x \frac{dy}{dx} + y = 0$.
This matches option $A$.
Solving the differential equation: $\frac{3 dy}{y} + \frac{dx}{x} = 0 \Rightarrow 3 \ln|y| + \ln|x| = C \Rightarrow \ln|xy^3| = C \Rightarrow xy^3 = k$.
Since it passes through $(1, 1)$,$1(1)^3 = k \Rightarrow k = 1$. The curve is $xy^3 = 1$.
Check option $C$: If $x = 1/8$,$y^3 = 8 \Rightarrow y = 2$. So,the curve passes through $(1/8, 2)$.
Check option $D$: At $(1, 1)$,$y' = -\frac{y}{3x} = -\frac{1}{3}$. Slope of normal $= -\frac{1}{y'} = 3$.
Equation of normal: $y - 1 = 3(x - 1) \Rightarrow y - 1 = 3x - 3 \Rightarrow 3x - y = 2$. Option $D$ is incorrect.

(C) Let the point of contact be $(x, y)$. The equation of the tangent at $(x, y)$ is given by $(Y - y) = \frac{dy}{dx}(X - x)$.
To find the $y$-intercept,we set $X = 0$ in the tangent equation:
$Y - y = \frac{dy}{dx}(0 - x) \Rightarrow Y = y - x \frac{dy}{dx}$.
The length of the $y$-intercept is $|Y| = |y - x \frac{dy}{dx}|$. According to the problem,the $y$-intercept is $3$ times the ordinate $y$:
$y - x \frac{dy}{dx} = 3y$.
Rearranging the terms,we get $-x \frac{dy}{dx} = 2y$.
Separating the variables,we have $\frac{dy}{y} = -2 \frac{dx}{x}$.
Integrating both sides,we get $\int \frac{dy}{y} = -2 \int \frac{dx}{x} + \ln C$.
$\ln y = -2 \ln x + \ln C \Rightarrow \ln y = \ln(x^{-2}) + \ln C$.
$\ln y = \ln(C x^{-2}) \Rightarrow y = \frac{C}{x^2}$.
Thus,$x^2y = C$,where $C$ is a constant.

(C) Given $\int_0^x \sqrt{1-\left(f^{\prime}(t)\right)^2} dt = \int_0^x f(t) dt$.
Applying the Leibniz rule by differentiating both sides with respect to $x$,we get $\sqrt{1-\left(f^{\prime}(x)\right)^2} = f(x)$.
Squaring both sides,$1 - (f^{\prime}(x))^2 = f^2(x)$,which implies $(f^{\prime}(x))^2 = 1 - f^2(x)$.
Thus,$f^{\prime}(x) = \pm \sqrt{1 - f^2(x)}$.
Separating variables,$\int \frac{df}{\sqrt{1-f^2}} = \pm \int dx$,which gives $\sin^{-1}(f(x)) = \pm x + C$.
Since $f(0) = 0$,we have $\sin^{-1}(0) = 0 + C$,so $C = 0$.
Thus,$f(x) = \sin(x)$ or $f(x) = -\sin(x)$.
Since $f$ is non-negative on $[0, \pi/2]$,we must have $f(x) = \sin(x)$.
We know that for $x > 0$,$\sin(x) < x$.
Therefore,$f(4/3) = \sin(4/3) < 4/3$ and $f(2/3) = \sin(2/3) < 2/3$.

(A) Given the differential equation for the slope of the curve: $\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2$.
To find the equation of the curve,we integrate both sides with respect to $x$:
$\int dy = \int 3x^2 dx$
$y = x^3 + C$,where $C$ is the constant of integration.
The curve passes through the point $(-1, 1)$. Substituting these coordinates into the equation:
$1 = (-1)^3 + C$
$1 = -1 + C$
$C = 2$.
Substituting the value of $C$ back into the general equation,we get:
$y = x^3 + 2$.

(B) Given the equation: $(f(x))^2 = 25 + \int_{0}^{x} ((f(t))^2 + (f'(t))^2) dt$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$ using the Leibniz rule:
$2 f(x) f'(x) = (f(x))^2 + (f'(x))^2$.
Rearranging the terms: $(f(x))^2 - 2 f(x) f'(x) + (f'(x))^2 = 0$.
This simplifies to: $(f(x) - f'(x))^2 = 0$,which implies $f'(x) = f(x)$.
Solving this differential equation: $\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} = 1 \Rightarrow \ln(f(x)) = x + C \Rightarrow f(x) = A e^x$.
At $x = 0$,$(f(0))^2 = 25 + 0 \Rightarrow f(0) = 5$ (since $f$ is non-negative).
Thus,$A e^0 = 5 \Rightarrow A = 5$,so $f(x) = 5 e^x$.
We need the mean of $f(\ln 1), f(\ln 2), \ldots, f(\ln 625)$.
Since $f(\ln n) = 5 e^{\ln n} = 5n$,the mean is:
$\text{Mean} = \frac{1}{625} \sum_{n=1}^{625} 5n = \frac{5}{625} \times \frac{625 \times 626}{2} = \frac{5 \times 626}{2} = 5 \times 313 = 1565$.
