The equation reduces to a linear differential equation:
y ′ = 2 x y
Solving the DE gives us y = C e x 2 Substituting our boundary conditions gives us
y = e x 2
It's not really to determine l n ( f ( 2 ) ) which will give us 4

Differentiate to find 2 x f ( x ) = f ′ ( x ) . Multiply by e − x 2 to get e − x 2 f ′ ( x ) − 2 x e − x 2 f ( x ) = d x d ( e − x 2 f ( x ) ) = 0 and f ( x ) = C e x 2 . Now f ( 1 ) = e gives C = 1 so f ( 2 ) = e 4 and ln ( f ( 4 ) ) = 4 .
