SUMMARY
The particular solution to the initial value problem (IVP) defined by the equation y'x - 1 = 0 with the initial condition y(1) = 2 is y(x) = ln|x| + 2. The solution is derived by separating variables and integrating, leading to the integral form ∫2^y(x) du = ∫1^x (1/v) dv. The application of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTOC) confirms the solution through the anti-derivative process.
