2 CHAPTER 1. WHAT IS A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION?

(h) Ify= arcsinxy, theny′= xy √ ′+y 1 −(xy) 2 soxy

′+y=y′√ 1 −x 2 y 2.

(i) Ify=xtanx, theny′=xsec 2 x+ tanx=x(tan 2 x+ 1) + tanx. Using tanx=y/xwe gety′=y 2 /x+x+y/xorxy′=x 2 +y 2 +y. (j) Ifx 2 = 2y 2 lny, then 2x= [2y 2 (1/y) + 4ylny]y′= 2yy′(1 + 2 lny). Consequently,y′=y+2xylny. Using lny= x 2 2 y 2 we gety

′= xy x 2 +y 2. (k) Ify 2 = x 2 −cx, then 2yy′ = 2x−c so 2xyy′ = 2x 2 −cx = x 2 +x 2 −cx=x 2 +y 2. (l) Ify=c 2 +c/x, theny′=−c/x 2 sox 4 (y′) 2 =c 2 =y−c/x. Use the fact that−c/x=xy′to obtainx 4 (y′) 2 =y+xy′.

(m) Ify=cey/x, theny′=xy

′−y x 2 ce

y/x=xyy′−y 2 x 2. Solve fory

′to obtain y′=y 2 /(xy−y 2 ). (n) Ify+siny=x, theny′+y′cosy= 1 ory′= 1/(1+cosy). Multiply the numerator and denominator of the right side byyto obtain y′=y/(y+ycosy). Now use the identityy=x−sinyto obtain y′= (x−siny+ycosy). (o) Ifx+y = arctany, then 1 +y′ = y′/(1 +y 2 ). Consequently, (1 +y′)(1 +y 2 ) =y′. This simplifies to 1 +y 2 +y 2 y′= 0.

  1. For each of the following differential equations, find the particular so- lution that satisfies the given initial condition.

(a) Ify′=xex, theny=

xexdx+C= (x−1)ex+C(integrate by parts,u=x). Whenx= 1, y=Cso the particular solution is y(x) = (x−1)ex+ 3. (b) Ify′ = 2 sinxcosx, theny=

2 sinxcosxdx+C= sin 2 x+C. Whenx= 0,y=Cso the particular solution isy(x) = sin 2 x+ 1. (c) Ify′= lnx, theny=

lnxdx+C=xlnx−x+C(integrate by parts,u= lnx). Whenx=e,y=Cso the particular solution is y(x) =xlnx−x. (d) Ify′= 1/(x 2 −1), theny=

1 /(x 2 −1)dx+C= 1/ 2

1 /(x− 1)− 1 /(x+ 1)dx+C= 12 lnxx−+1 1 +C(method of partial fractions). Whenx= 2,y= 12 ln 13 +C=C−ln 3 2 so the particular solution isy(x) = 12 lnxx−+1 1 +ln 3 2.

  1. For the differential equation

y′′− 5 y′+ 4y= 0,

carry out the detailed calculations required to verify these assertions.

(a) Ify=ex, theny′′− 5 y′+ 4y=ex− 5 ex+ 4ex≡0. Ify=e 4 x, theny′′− 5 y′+ 4y= 16e 4 x− 20 e 4 x+ 4e 4 x≡0. (b) If y= c 1 ex+c 2 e 4 x, theny′′− 5 y′+ 4y =c 1 (ex− 5 ex+ 4ex) + c 2 (16e 4 x− 20 e 4 x+ 4e 4 x≡0.

  1. For which values ofmwill the functiony=ym=emxbe a solution of the differential equation

2 y′′′+y′′− 5 y′+ 2y= 0?

Find three such valuesm. Use the ideas in Exercise 5 to find a solution containing three arbitrary constantsc 1 , c 2 , c 3. Substitutey=emxinto the differential equation to obtain

2 m 3 emx+m 2 emx− 5 memx+ 2emx= 0.

Cancelemxin each term (it is never 0) to obtain the equivalent equation

2 m 3 +m 2 − 5 m+ 2 = 0.

Observing thatm=m 1 = 1 is a solution (andy 1 =exis a solution to the differential equation). Using this we can factor the polynomial– divide bym−1–to obtain

2 m 3 +m 2 − 5 m+ 2 = (m−1)(2m 2 + 3m−2).

∫dy ∫ y = tanxdx, to obtain the solution: ln|y|=−ln|cosx|+C. This can also be written in the formy=C/cosxory=Csecx. (i) From Leibnitz form,xydydx =y−1 we obtain yydy− 1 = dxx. Write this in the formy−y−1+1 1 dy=dxx and integrate to obtain the implicit solutiony+ ln|y− 1 |= ln|x|+C. (j) Leibnitz formxy 2 −dydxx 2 = 0 separates todxx =y− 2 dy. Integrating yields the implicit solution ln|x|=− 1 /y+C. The solution can be expressed explicitly asy=C−ln 1 |x|.

  1. Substitutingy′=pyields p

′ p =x

  1. Separation of variables (or direct

integration) gives ln|p|=x 3 /3 +C. This implies thatp=Cex 3 / 3 and so y′ =Cex 3 / 3 . Consequently,y= C

ex 3 / 3 dx+D. As we expect, the solution contains two arbitrary constants. The integral cannot be evaluated in terms of elementary functions.

1 First-Order Linear Equations

  1. Find the general solution of the following equations.

(a) The equation is linear and separable. The integrating factor is e−x 2 / 2 so it simplifies to (e−x 2 / 2 y)′= 0 ande−x 2 / 2 y=C. Therefore, y=Cex 2 / 2 . (b) This equation is also linear and separable. The integrating factor isex

The integrating factor isx− 2 so the equation simplifies to (x− 2 y)′=−1. Integrate to obtainx− 2 y=−x+C. The general solution isy=−x 3 +Cx 2. (f) The integrating factor isex 2 so the equation simplifies to (ex 2 y)′= 0. Consequently,ex

2 y=Candy=Ce−x

2 . (g) Write asy′−(3/x)y=x 3. The integrating factor isx− 3 so the equation simplifies to (x− 3 y)′= 1. Integrating we obtainx− 3 y= x+Csoy=x 4 +Cx 3. (h) Express the equation in the formy′+1+ 2 xx 2 y=1+cotxx 2. The integrat- ing factor is 1 +x 2 and the equation simplifies to ((1 +x 2 )y)′= cotx. Consequently, (1 +x 2 )y= ln|sinx|+Candy=ln|sin1+xx 2 |+C. (i) The integrating factor is sinxand the equation simplifies to (ysinx)′= 2 x. Therefore,ysinx=x 2 +Candy=x

2 +C sinx. (j) Express the equation in the formy′+ (1/x+ cotx)y= 1. The in- tegrating factor isxsinxso the equation simplifies to (xysinx)′= xsinx. Integrate to obtainxysinx= sinx−xcosx+C (use a table of integrals or integratexsinxby parts,u=x). Therefore, y=sinx−xxsincosxx+C.

  1. Bernoulli Equations To verify the technique write the Bernoulli equation in the formy−ny′+P y 1 −n=Q. The substitutionz=y 1 −n andz′= (1−n)y−ny′yield 1 − 1 nz′+P z=Q.

(a) Bernoulli,n= 3. Substitutez=y− 2 ,z′=− 2 y− 3 y′intoxy− 3 y′+ y− 2 =x 4 to obtain (− 1 /2)xz′+z=x 4. This is linear,z′−(2/x)z= − 2 x 3 , with integrating factorx− 2. It simplifies to (x− 2 z)′=− 2 x. COnsequently,x− 2 z=−x 2 +Candz=−x 4 +Cx 2. This means thaty− 2 =Cx 2 −x 4 soy 2 =Cx 21 −x 4. (b) Write the equation in the form y′+ (1/x)y = y− 2 cosxto see that it is Bernoulli,n=−2. Substitutez =y 3 ,z′ = 3y 2 y′ into the equationy 2 y′+ (1/x)y 3 = cosxto obtain the linear equation (1/3)z′+ (1/x)z= cosx. This isz′+ (3/x)z= 3 cosx, with inte- grating factorx 3. It simplifies to (x 3 z)′= 3x 3 cosx. Consequently, x 3 z = 3F(x) +C whereF(x) is and antiderivative forx 3 cosx.

  1. M=y+ycosxy,N=x+xcosxy, so∂M∂y = 1−xysinxy+cosxy=∂N∂x. The equation is exact. ∂f∂x=y+ycosxyimplies thatf(x, y) =xy+ sinxy+φ(y). ∂f∂y =x+xcosxy implies thatx+xcosxy+φ′(y) = x+xcosxy, soφ(y) = 0 andf(x, y) =xy+sinxy. The implicit solution isxy+ sinxy=C. For a given value ofC, the equationt+ sint=C has exactly one solution,t 0. Therefore, the implicit solution for the differential equation also be expressed simply asxy=C.

  2. M= 1+y 2 sin 2x,N=− 2 ycos 2 x, so∂M∂y = 2ysin 2x= 4ycosxsinx= ∂N ∂x. The equation is exact.

∂f ∂x = 1 +y

2 sin 2ximplies thatf(x, y) = x− 12 y 2 cos 2x+φ(y). ∂f∂y=− 2 ycos 2 ximplies that−ycos 2x+φ′(y) = − 2 ycos 2 x. Since cos 2 x= 12 + 12 cos 2x, the last equation is equivalent to −ycos 2x+φ′(y) = −y−ycos 2xso φ′(y) = −y, φ(y) = − 12 y 2 , andf(x, y) =x− 12 y 2 cos 2x− 12 y 2. Therefore, the implicit function is x− 12 y 2 cos 2x− 12 y 2 =C.

′(y) =x 3 y − 2 y, soφ

′(y) =− 2 y, φ(y) =−y 2 , andf(x, y) =x 3 (1+lny)−y 2. The implicit solution isx 3 (1+lny)−y 2 = C.

(a) ∂f∂x = (x+yy) 2 −1 implies thatf(x, y) =−x+yy−x+φ(y). ∂f∂y = 1 −(x+xy) 2 implies that 1−(x+xy) 2 =phi′(y)−(x+xy) 2 soφ′(y) = 1,

The substitutionsz=xyandy′=xz′+z yield the separable equationxz′+z= 3(1 +z 2 ) arctanz+z. This equation has the solutionz= tan(Cx 3 ) so the original equation has solutiony=xtan(Cx 3 ). (d) Divide the equation by x to make it homogeneous. The sub- stitutions z = yx and y′ = xz′+z yield the separable equa- tion (xz′+z)sinzz = sinz+ 1 z. This equation has the solution cosz+lncx= 0 so the original equation has solution cosyx+lncx=
  2. (e) Divide byxto make the equation homogeneous. The substitutions z = yx andy′ =xz′+z yield the separable equationxz′+z = z+ 2e−z.

(h) Divide by x: y′ =

(b) Ifae=bd, then there is a constantksuch thatcx+dy=k(ax+by) for allxandy. We are assuming thataandbare not both 0. The equation then has the formdydx=F(k(axax++byby+)+cf). The substitution z=ax+byreduces it toz′=a+bF(kzz++cf) which is separable.

and y′′ = 4c1sinh 2x+ 4c2cosh 2x= 4yso y′′ 4y= 0.

(h) If y= arcsin xy, then y=xy+y
1(xy)2so xy+y=yp1x2y2.
(i) If y=xtan x, then y=xsec2x+ tan x=x(tan2x+ 1) + tan x.
Using tan x=y/x we get y=y2/x +x+y/x or xy=x2+y2+y.
(j) If x2= 2y2ln y, then 2x= [2y2(1/y) + 4yln y]y= 2yy(1 + 2 ln y).
Consequently, y=x
y+2yln y. Using ln y=x2
2y2we get y=xy
x2+y2.
(k) If y2=x2cx, then 2yy= 2xcso 2xyy= 2x2cx =
x2+x2cx =x2+y2.
(l) If y=c2+c/x, then y=c/x2so x4(y)2=c2=yc/x. Use
the fact that c/x =xyto obtain x4(y)2=y+xy.
(m) If y=cey/x, then y=xyy
x2cey/x =xyyy2
x2. Solve for yto obtain
y=y2/(xy y2).
(n) If y+sin y=x, then y+ycos y= 1 or y= 1/(1+cos y). Multiply
the numerator and denominator of the right side by yto obtain
y=y/(y+ycos y). Now use the identity y=xsin yto obtain
y= (xsin y+ycos y).
(o) If x+y= arctan y, then 1 + y=y/(1 + y2). Consequently,
(1 + y)(1 + y2) = y. This simplifies to 1 + y2+y2y= 0.
3. For each of the following differential equations, find the particular so-
lution that satisfies the given initial condition.
(a) If y=xex, then y=Rxexdx +C= (x1)ex+C(integrate by
parts, u=x). When x= 1, y=Cso the particular solution is
y(x) = (x1)ex+ 3.
(b) If y= 2 sin xcos x, then y=R2 sin xcos xdx +C= sin2x+C.
When x= 0, y=Cso the particular solution is y(x) = sin2x+ 1.
(c) If y= ln x, then y=Rln xdx +C=xln xx+C(integrate by
parts, u= ln x). When x=e,y=Cso the particular solution is
y(x) = xln xx.
(d) If y= 1/(x21), then y=R1/(x21)dx +C= 1/2R1/(x
1) 1/(x+ 1)dx +C=1
2ln x1
x+1 +C(method of partial fractions).
When x= 2, y=1
2ln 1
3+C=Cln 3

is y(x) = 1
2ln x1
x+1 +ln 3

2) 2/xdx +C=1

5. For the differential equation
y′′ 5y+ 4y= 0,
carry out the detailed calculations required to verify these assertions.
(a) If y=ex, then y′′ 5y+ 4y=ex5ex+ 4ex0.
If y=e4x, then y′′ 5y+ 4y= 16e4x20e4x+ 4e4x0.
(b) If y=c1ex+c2e4x, then y 5y+ 4y=c1(ex5ex+ 4ex) +
c2(16e4x20e4x+ 4e4x0.
7. For which values of mwill the function y=ym=emx be a solution of
the differential equation
2y′′′ +y′′ 5y+ 2y= 0?
Find three such values m. Use the ideas in Exercise 5 to find a solution
containing three arbitrary constants c1, c2, c3.
Substitute y=emx into the differential equation to obtain
2m3emx +m2emx 5memx + 2emx = 0.
Cancel emx in each term (it is never 0) to obtain the equivalent equation
2m3+m25m+ 2 = 0.
Observing that m=m1= 1 is a solution (and y1=exis a solution
to the differential equation). Using this we can factor the polynomial–
divide by m1–to obtain
2m3+m25m+ 2 = (m1)(2m2+ 3m2).
4CHAPTER 1. WHAT IS A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION?
The quadratic term factors yield two more roots, m2=2, m3= 1/2,
and two more solutions
y2=e2xand y3=ex/2.
These three solutions can be combined, as in Exercise 5, to produce a
solution with three arbitrary constants
y=c1ex+c2e2x+c3ex/2.
1. Use the method of separation of variables to solve each of these ordinary
differential equations.
(a) Write the equation x5y+y5= 0 in Leibnitz form x5dy
dx +y5= 0
and separate the variables: dy
y5=dx
x5. Integrate, Rdy
y5=Rdx
x5,
to obtain the solution: y4/(4) = x4/4 + C. This can also be
written in the form x4+y4=Cx4y4or y= ( x4
Cx41)1/4.
(b) Write the equation y= 4xy in Leibnitz form dy
dx = 4xy and sepa-
rate the variables: dy
y= 4xdx. Integrate, Rdy
y=R4xdx, to obtain
the solution: ln |y|= 2x2+C. This can also be written in the form
y=Ce2x2.
(c) Write the equation y+ytan x= 0 in Leibnitz form dy
dx +ytan x= 0
and separate the variables: dy
y=tan xdx. Integrate, Rdy
y==
Rtan xdx, to obtain the solution: ln |y|= ln |cos x|+C. This can
also be written in the form y=Ccos x.
(d) The equation (1 + x2)dy + (1 + y2)dx = 0 can be rearranged and
integrated directly, Rdy
1+y2+Rdx
1+x2=C. Therefore, the implicit
solution is arctan y+ arctan x=C. This can also be written in
the form y= tan(Carctan x).
(e) Proceed as in part (d). Rearrange yln ydx xdy = 0 to the form
dx
xdy
yln y= 0 and integrate: Rdx
xRdy
yln y=C. This yields the
implicit solution ln |x|ln |ln y|=Cwhich can also be written in
the form ln y=Cx or y=eCx.
(f) From Leibnitz form xdy
dx = (1 4x2) tan ywe obtain cot ydy =
(1/x 4x)dx. Integrating, Rcot ydy =R1/x 4xdx, gives the
implicit solution ln |sin y|= ln |x|2x2+C. Consequently, sin y=
Cxe2x2so y= arcsin(Cxe2x2).
