Answer:

Explanation:

To verify that the general solution satisfies the differential equation, we need to differentiate the implicit equation 3x^2 + 6y^2 = C with respect to x and check if it matches the given differential equation 3x + 6yy' = 0.

Differentiating both sides of the implicit equation with respect to x using the chain rule, we get:

6x + 12yy' = 0

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

3x + 6yy' = 0

This matches the given differential equation, so we can conclude that the implicit equation 3x^2 + 6y^2 = C is a general solution to the differential equation 3x + 6yy' = 0.

To find the particular solution that satisfies the initial condition y = 2 when x = 5, we can plug these values into the general solution and solve for the constant C.

Substituting x = 5 and y = 2 into the general solution, we get:

3(5)^2 + 6(2)^2 = C

Simplifying the left-hand side, we get:

75 + 24 = C

C = 99

Therefore, the particular solution that satisfies the initial condition y = 2 when x = 5 is:

3x^2 + 6y^2 = 99

or, equivalently:

x^2 + 2y^2 = 33
