Options:
  • A \(y=\frac{1-e^{-2 x}}{2}\)
  • B \(y=\frac{1+e^{-2 x}}{2}\)
  • C \(y=1+e^x\)
  • D \(y=\frac{1+e^x}{2}\)

The correct answer is: \(y=\frac{1-e^{-2 x}}{2}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{d y}{d x}+2 y=1 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=1-2 y \\
& \int \frac{d y}{1-2 y}=\int d x-\frac{1}{2} \log |1-2 y|=x+C \\
& \text { at } x=0, y=0 ;-\frac{1}{2} \log 1=0+C \Rightarrow C=0 \\
& 1-2 y=e^{-2 x} \Rightarrow y=\frac{1-e^{-2 x}}{2}
\end{aligned}\)
