At an eigenvalue solvability is a condition

For , consider the following Fredholm integral equation y(x) = 1 + x + cxxt)y(t)dt. Then the values of c for which the integral equation admits a solution are

  1. A.−8
  2. B.−6
  3. C.2
  4. D.6

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
