Short Answer

Question: In problems 33-40 Solve the equation given in Problem 3.

dydx+yx=x3y2

y=-3x4+Cx and y0

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given equation solve by Bernoulli Equations.

A first-order equation that can be written in the form,

dydx+Pxy=Qxyn,

where P(x) and Q(x) are continuous on an interval (a, b) and n is a real number, is called a Bernoulli equation.

Step 2: Solve the given equation

The given equation is,

dydx+yx=x3y2

Both sides divide by y2 in the above equation,

y-2dydx+y-1x=x3......1

Let,

t=y-1dtdx=-y-2dydx

Substitute the t=y-1 and dtdx=-y-2dydx in the equation (1),

-dtdx+tx=x3dtdx-tx=-x3......2

Step 3: Compare equation (2) with the standard form of the linear equation,

The standard form of the linear equation is,

dydx+Pxy=Qx

One has,

Px=-1x

Now find the integrating factor,

μx=ePxdx=e-1xdx=e-logx=1x

Both sides Multiply by μx=1x in the equation (2),

1xdtdx-1xtx=-1xx3  

Simplify the above equation,

1xdtdx-tx2=-x2  ddxtx=-x2

Integrate both sides and solve for the solution.

tx=-x2dx+c

Substitute t = y-1 and simplify the above equation,

y-1x=-x33+c1y=-x43+cx1y=x4+3cx-3

Where, C = -3c

y=-3x4+Cx

Hence, the solve the given equation is y=-3x4+Cx and y0
