Short Answer

Use the method discussed under “Bernoulli Equations” to solve problems 21-28.

dxdt+tx3+xt=0

Equation of the form of Bernoulli equation for the given equation is x-2=2t2 ln t+Ct2.

Step by Step Solution

General form of Bernoulli equation

Bernoulli’s equation

A first-order equation that can be written in the form dydx+Pxy=Qxyn, where Pxand Qx are continuous on an interval a,b and is a real number, is called a Bernoulli equation.

Evaluate the given equation

Given, dxdt+tx3+xt=0.

Compare with the general form of the Bernoulli equation.

n=3, Pt=1t and Qt=-t

Now, divide by x3, we get,

x-3dxdt+x-2t=-t······1

Substitute v=x-2.

Differentiate with respect to t.

dvdt=-2x-3dxdt-12dvdt=x-3dxdt

Substitute it on equation (1)

-12dvdt+vt=-tdvdt-2tv=2t······2

Integrate the equation

Now, integrate Ptthe first. Where role="math" localid="1663935034942" Px=-2t.

Ptdt=-21tdt=-2lnt

Then,

μt=ePtdt=e-2lnt=t-2

Multiply μtwith equation (2).

t-2dvdt-2t-3v=2t-1ddtt-2v=2t-1

Integrate both sides,

ddtt-2vdt=2t-1dtt-2v=21tdt=2lnt+C1v=2t2lnt+Ct2

Substitution method

Substitutev=x-2 .

x-2=2t2lnt+Ct2

Hence, the solution is x-2=2t2 ln t+Ct2
