Solution

The problem in the image involves solving the differential equation:

dydx+2xy=x,y(0)=2\frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy = x, \quad y(0) = 2

and evaluating y(0.6)y(0.6) to three decimal places using the following methods:

  1. Separation of variables method.
  2. Integrating factor method.
  3. Euler's numerical method with step size h=0.1h = 0.1.

I'll work through these solutions step by step for each method. Let’s start with the first method: **Separation of Variables.**import sympy as sp

Define the variables and function

x = sp.symbols('x') y = sp.Function('y')(x)

Define the differential equation

diff_eq = sp.Eq(y.diff(x) + 2 * x * y, x)

Solve using separation of variables

general_solution = sp.dsolve(diff_eq, y) general_solutionEq(y(x), C1exp(-x**2)/2 + 1/2)Eq(y(x), C1exp(-x**2)/2 + 1/2)successThe general solution to the differential equation dydx+2xy=x\frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy = x using the separation of variables method is:

y(x)=C1ex22+12y(x) = \frac{C_1 e^{-x^2}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

where C1C_1 is a constant. Next, we apply the initial condition y(0)=2y(0) = 2 to find C1C_1.# Apply the initial condition y(0) = 2 C1 = sp.symbols('C1') # Constant of integration initial_condition = sp.Eq(general_solution.rhs.subs(x, 0), 2) C1_value = sp.solve(initial_condition, C1)[0]

Substitute C1 into the general solution

particular_solution = general_solution.subs(C1, C1_value) particular_solutionEq(y(x), 1/2 + 3exp(-x**2)/2)Eq(y(x), 1/2 + 3exp(-x**2)/2)successAfter applying the initial condition y(0)=2y(0) = 2, the particular solution to the differential equation is:

y(x)=12+3ex22y(x) = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3e^{-x^2}}{2}

Now, to evaluate y(0.6)y(0.6), substitute x=0.6x = 0.6 into this solution.# Evaluate y(0.6) to 3 decimal places y_at_0_6 = particular_solution.rhs.subs(x, 0.6).evalf() y_at_0_61.546514489106551.54651448910655successUsing the separation of variables method, the value of y(0.6)y(0.6) is approximately:

y(0.6)1.547y(0.6) \approx 1.547

Next, I'll solve the same problem using the integrating factor method. Let me know if you'd like detailed explanations for this method or the numerical Euler's approach!
