Study Notes
Variable Separable Differential Equation
- A differential equation is said to be variable separable if all terms containing x and y can be grouped with dx and dy respectively.
Types of Solutions
- General solution: Contains an arbitrary constant that is not yet defined.
- Particular solution: Contains no arbitrary constant. The arbitrary constant has been defined.
How to Solve Variable Separable Differential Equations
- Group terms with x and dx on one side, and terms with y and dy on the other side.
- Integrate both sides after grouping.
- The solution will usually contain an arbitrary constant, which can be determined if initial conditions are provided.
Examples
- Example 1: $y=2x$
- The general solution is $y=xe^c$, where c is an arbitrary constant.
- Example 2: $2x(y+1)dx-ydy=0$
- The particular solution, given the initial condition x = 1, y = 0, is $x^2 - y -ln(y+1) + 1 = c$.
Homogeneous Differential Equations
- A differential equation is homogeneous if every term has the same degree.
- It can be written in the form $M(x, y)dx + N(x, y)dy = 0$, where M and N are functions of x and y with the same degree.
- Homogeneous differential equations can be solved by making a suitable substitution.
How to Solve Homogeneous Differential Equations
- If M is simpler, substitute $x = vy$ and $dx = vdy + ydx$.
- If N is simpler, substitute $y = vx$ and $dy = vdx + xdv$.
Elimination of Arbitrary Constant
- The elimination of arbitrary constant allows us to obtain the differential equation from a given equation.
- We differentiate the given equation based on the number of arbitrary constants.
Elimination of Arbitrary Constant Using Elimination Method (Determinant)
- This method involves constructing a determinant with the given equation and its derivatives.
- The determinant is then set to zero to obtain the differential equation.
Examples
- Example 1: $y = C_1 + C_2e^{3x}$
- The differential equation is $y'' - 3y' = 0$.
- Example 2: $2xyy' = 1 + y^2$
- The particular solution, given the initial condition x = 2, y = 3, is $y^2 + 1 = 5x$.
- Example 3: $(x^3 + 2x)y dx - x(y^4 + 3)y dy = 0$
- The particular solution, given the initial condition x = 1, y = 1, is $\frac{1}{3}x^3 + 2ln(x) = \frac{1}{4}y^4 + 3ln(y) + \frac{1}{12}$.
- Example 4: $ye^{2x}dx = (4+e^{2x})dy$
- The general solution is $4 + e^{2x} = Cy^2$, where C is an arbitrary constant.
