Math Problem Statement

Find the differential equation (D.E.) of the general solutions: y = C1 e^(4x) + C2 e^(-2x) and 3x^2 - xy^2 = C.

Solution

From the image, it appears there are two mathematical tasks outlined:

  1. First equation: y=C1e4x+C2e2xy = C_1 e^{4x} + C_2 e^{-2x}
    The task seems to involve finding the Differential Equation (D.E.) of the given general solution. This means deriving a differential equation for which this solution is valid.

  2. Second equation: 3x2xy2=C3x^2 - xy^2 = C
    It seems to be an implicit equation involving xx, yy, and CC. The task might involve deriving some properties of this equation or analyzing it further.

I will analyze and solve each problem.


1. Derive the D.E. of y=C1e4x+C2e2xy = C_1 e^{4x} + C_2 e^{-2x}:

  1. Differentiate yy with respect to xx: y=4C1e4x2C2e2xy' = 4C_1 e^{4x} - 2C_2 e^{-2x}
  2. Differentiate yy' again to find yy'': y=16C1e4x+4C2e2xy'' = 16C_1 e^{4x} + 4C_2 e^{-2x}
  3. Express yy'', yy', and yy in terms of the original solution:
    • Notice that e4xe^{4x} and e2xe^{-2x} can be eliminated.
    • Combine terms into a single differential equation: y+2y8y=0y'' + 2y' - 8y = 0

So, the Differential Equation is: y+2y8y=0y'' + 2y' - 8y = 0


2. Analysis of 3x2xy2=C3x^2 - xy^2 = C:

This represents a family of curves, depending on the constant CC.

  1. To analyze this equation, calculate the derivative dydx\frac{dy}{dx} implicitly:
    ddx(3x2xy2)=ddx(C)\frac{d}{dx}(3x^2 - xy^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(C) Differentiating both sides: 6xy22xydydx=06x - y^2 - 2xy\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 Solve for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}: dydx=6xy22xy\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{6x - y^2}{2xy}

This gives the slope of the tangent line to the curve at any point (x,y)(x, y).

Would you like further steps or analysis for any of these equations?


Questions for Further Exploration:

  1. What are the physical or geometric interpretations of the solution y=C1e4x+C2e2xy = C_1 e^{4x} + C_2 e^{-2x}?
  2. Can the solution y=C1e4x+C2e2xy = C_1 e^{4x} + C_2 e^{-2x} be solved for specific initial conditions?
  3. What is the nature of the curve represented by 3x2xy2=C3x^2 - xy^2 = C (e.g., ellipse, hyperbola)?
  4. How does dydx=6xy22xy\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{6x - y^2}{2xy} behave at certain points on the curve?
  5. Are there critical points or symmetry properties of the equation 3x2xy2=C3x^2 - xy^2 = C?

Tip:

When deriving differential equations from general solutions, always eliminate constants by taking derivatives and combining terms systematically.
