Short Answer

In problems, 1-8 identify (do not solve) the equation as homogeneous, Bernoulli, linear coefficients, or of the form y'=G(ax+by). dydx+yx=x3y2

The given equation is the form of Bernoulli equation.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

General form of homogeneous, Bernoulli, linear coefficients of the form of y'=Gax+by

  • Homogeneous equation

If the right-hand side of the equation dydx=fx,ycan be expressed as a function of the ratio yxalone, then we say the equation is homogeneous.

Equations of the form dydx=Gax+by

When the right-hand side of the equation dydx=fx,ycan be expressed as a function of the combination ax+by, where a and b are constants, that is, dydx=Gax+by then the substitution z=ax+by transforms the equation into a separable one.

  • Bernoulli’s equation

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.

  • Equation of Linear coefficients

We have used various substitutions for y to transform the original equation into a new equation that we could solve. In some cases, we must transform both x and y into new variables, say u and v. This is the situation for equations with linear coefficients-that is, equations of the form

a1x+b1y+c1dx+a2x+b2y+c2dy=0

Evaluate the given equation

Given,

dydx+yx=x3y2

By evaluating,

role="math" localid="1655102457300" dydx+yx=x3y2dydx+1xy=x3y2

Comparing with general form of Bernoulli equation it seems that the given equation also Bernoulli equation.

Therefore, the given equation is the form of Bernoulli equation.
