Explanation: Given equation is of the form \(\frac{dy}{dx} + Py = Qy^n\) …divide by y2
where P and Q are functions of x hence this is Bernoulli’s equation in \(y, \frac{1}{y^2} \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{1}{yx} = x\)
put \(\frac{1}{y} = t \rightarrow \frac{-1}{y^2} \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dt}{dx}\) substituting we get – \(\frac{dt}{dx} + \frac{t}{x} = x \,or\, \frac{dt}{dx} – \frac{t}{x} = -x\)
this equation is linear in t i.e it is of the form
\(\frac{dt}{dx} + Pt = Q, I.F = e^{\int P \,dx} =e^{\int \frac{-1}{x} \,dx} = e^{-logx} = \frac{1}{x}\)
its solution is
\(te^{\int P \,dx} = \int Q e^{\int P \,dx} \,dx + c \rightarrow t \frac{1}{x} = \int -x * \frac{1}{x} \,dx + c \rightarrow \frac{t}{x} = -x + c \,but\, t = \frac{1}{y}\)
thus solution is given by \(\frac{1}{xy} = -x + c\).
2. Solution of the differential equation \(\frac{dy}{dx} -y \,tanx = \frac{sinx cos^2x}{y^2}\) is ______
a) \(y \,cos^2 x = \frac{-cos^4 xsin^2 x}{2} + c\)
b) \(y^2 cos^2 x = \frac{sin^6 x}{2} + c \)
c) \(y^3 cos^3 x = \frac{-cos^6 x}{2} + c \)
d) \(y^4 cos^5 x = \frac{sinx cosx}{2} + c \)
View Answer
Explanation: \(\frac{dy}{dx} -y \,tanx = \frac{sinx cos^2x}{y^2}\) multiplying by
\(y^2 \rightarrow y^2 \frac{dy}{dx} – y^3 tanx = sinx \,cos^2x \)
put \(t = y^3\rightarrow3y^2 \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dt}{dx} \,or\, y^2 \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{3} \frac{dt}{dx}\)
substituting \(\frac{dt}{dx}-3t \,tanx = 3sinx \,cos^2x \)
this equation is linear in t i.e it is of the form \(\frac{dt}{dx} + Pt = Q, e^{\int P \,dx} = e^{\int -3tanx \,dx}\)
\(e^{-3 log\, secx} = cos^3 \,x\) its solution is \(te^{\int P \,dx} = \int Q \,e^{\int P \,dx} dx + c\)
t cos3 x=∫3sinx cos2x cos3 x dx + c = ∫3sinx cos5x dx+c, put v=cos x
dv=-sin x dx i.e \(\int 3sinx \,cos^5\, x \,dx = \int -3v^5 \,dx = \frac{-v^6}{2} = \frac{-cos^6 x}{2}\) hence its solution becomes \(t cos^3 x = \frac{-cos^6 x}{2} + c \rightarrow y^3 cos^3 \,x = \frac{-cos^6 x}{2} + c.\)
3. Solution of the differential equation 6y2 dx – x(x3 + 2y)dy = 0 is ________
a) \(\frac{y}{x^3} = \frac{-logy}{2} + c \)
b) \(\frac{y^2}{x^3} = \frac{-logx}{4} + c \)
c) \(\frac{x}{y^3} = \frac{-logx}{2} + c \)
d) \(\frac{x}{y^2} = \frac{-logy}{4} + c \)
View Answer
Explanation: Equation is reduced to \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x(x^3+2y)}{6y^2} \,i.e\, \frac{dx}{dy}-\frac{x}{3y} = \frac{x^4}{6y^2}\) …divide by x4
we get \(\frac{1}{x^4} \frac{dy}{dx} – \frac{1}{3x^3 y} = \frac{1}{6y^2} \,put\, \frac{1}{x^3} = t \rightarrow \frac{-3}{x^4} \frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{dt}{dy} \,or\, \frac{1}{x^4} \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-1}{3} \frac{dt}{dy} \)
substituting \(\frac{-1}{3} \frac{dt}{dy} – \frac{t}{3y} = \frac{1}{6y^2} \,or\, \frac{dt}{dy} + \frac{t}{y} = \frac{-1}{2y^2}\) this equation is linear in t i.e it is of the form
\(\frac{dt}{dy} + Pt = Q \,where\, P=\frac{1}{y}, Q=\frac{-1}{2y^2} \,I.F\, = e^{\int P \,dy} = e^{\int \frac{1}{y} \,dy} = e^{logy} = y\) its solution is \(te^{\int P \,dy} = \int Q \,e^{\int P \,dy} + c \rightarrow ty = \int y * \frac{-1}{2y^2} \,dy + c = \frac{-logy}{2} + c\)
\(\frac{y}{x^3} = \frac{-logy}{2} + c \) is the required solution.
