Answer for screen readers
- (a) $y(3) = 1$
- (b) $y(2) = 4 + \sqrt{10}$
- (c) Yes, $y'$ is bounded on $(\sqrt{2}/3, 1)$
- (d) Yes, $y'$ is bounded on $(1, \infty)$
Steps to Solve
- Rearranging the differential equation
We start with the given differential equation: $$(2x - y)y' + (2y - x) = 0$$ We can rearrange it to solve for $y'$: $$(2x - y)y' = x - 2y$$ Then, we have: $$y' = \frac{x - 2y}{2x - y}$$
- Separation of variables
We separate variables to facilitate the integration. Rewriting, we get: $$ \frac{dy}{x - 2y} = \frac{dx}{2x - y} $$
- Integrating both sides
Next, we integrate both sides. This involves recognizing that each side may need a substitution. Let’s integrate: $$\int \frac{dy}{x - 2y} = \int \frac{dx}{2x - y}$$
- Finding the constants
Upon integrating, we'll need to apply the given initial condition $y(1) = 3$ to find the constant of integration.
- Evaluating for specific $y(x)$ values
After finding the general solution for $y$, we can calculate:
- $y(3)$
- $y(2)$
- Analyzing the boundedness of $y'$
To determine if $y'$ is bounded on $(\sqrt{2}/3, 1)$ and $(1, \infty)$, we will examine the behavior of $y'$ as derived from our earlier result during our analysis.
- (a) $y(3) = 1$
- (b) $y(2) = 4 + \sqrt{10}$
- (c) Yes, $y'$ is bounded on $(\sqrt{2}/3, 1)$
- (d) Yes, $y'$ is bounded on $(1, \infty)$
More Information
The solutions of the given differential equation are based on the relationship between $x$ and $y$. Initial conditions enable us to determine specific function values and ascertain the behavior of the solution over specified intervals.
Tips
- Mistaking the bounds of integration when solving the separable equation.
- Failing to accurately apply the initial conditions to find constants.
- Not checking for singularities in the solution when evaluating boundedness.
