Step by Step Solution

Step 1(a): Showing that ϕx=x2 is an explicit solution to xdydx=2y

Firstly, differentiate the given function concerning x.

Therefore, ϕ'(x)=2x, for all x on the interval -,,

Substituting the value of for y in the given equation,

xdydx=2yx×ϕ'x=2×ϕxx×2x=2×x22x2=2x2

This means, the function ϕx, substituted in the given equation, satisfies the equation for all x in the interval -,.

Hence, ϕ(x)=x2 is an explicit solution to the equation xdydx=2y, for all x on the interval (-,).

Step 2(b): Show that ϕ(x)=ex-x, is an explicit solution to dydx+y2=ex+(1-2x)ex+x2-1a2+b2

Firstly, differentiate the given function concerning x.

Therefore, ϕ'x=ex-1, for all x on the interval -,.

Substituting the value of ϕx for y in the L.H.S. (Left-hand side) of the given equation,

dydx+y2=ex-1+ex-x2dydx+y2=ex-1+e2x+x2-2xexdydx+y2=e2x+ex-2xex+x2-1dydx+y2=e2x+1-2xex+x2-1

Which is the same as the R.H.S. (Right-hand side) of the given equation,

Hence, ϕ(x)=ex-x is an explicit solution to the equation dydx+y2=ex+1-2xex+x2-1, for all x on the interval (-,).

Step 3(c): Show that ϕx=x2-x-1 is an explicit solution to x2d2ydx2=2y

Firstly, we will differentiate the given function concerning x.

Therefore, ϕ'x=2x--1×x-2=2x+x-2, for all x in the interval (0,)

And ϕ''x=2+-2x-3=2-2x-3, for all x in the interval (0,)

Substituting the value of for y in the given equation,

x2d2ydx2=2yx2×ϕ''x=2×ϕxx2×2-2x-3=2×x2-x-12x2-2x-1=2x2-2x-1

This means, the function ϕx, substituted in the given equation, satisfies the equation, for all x in the interval (0,).

So, ϕx=x2-x-1 is an explicit solution to the equation x2d2ydx2=2y, for all x in the interval (0,).
