Math Problem Statement

dy/dx + 3y = 3x^3 -4x^2 -5x, y(0)=0

Solution

This is a first-order linear differential equation:

dydx+3y=3x34x25x\frac{dy}{dx} + 3y = 3x^3 - 4x^2 - 5x

We can solve it using an integrating factor. The general form of a linear differential equation is:

dydx+P(x)y=Q(x)\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)

Here, P(x)=3P(x) = 3 and Q(x)=3x34x25xQ(x) = 3x^3 - 4x^2 - 5x.

Step 1: Find the integrating factor

The integrating factor, μ(x)\mu(x), is given by:

μ(x)=eP(x)dx=e3dx=e3x\mu(x) = e^{\int P(x) \, dx} = e^{\int 3 \, dx} = e^{3x}

Step 2: Multiply the entire equation by the integrating factor

We multiply both sides of the equation by e3xe^{3x}:

e3xdydx+3e3xy=(3x34x25x)e3xe^{3x} \frac{dy}{dx} + 3e^{3x}y = \left( 3x^3 - 4x^2 - 5x \right) e^{3x}

The left-hand side simplifies to:

ddx(ye3x)=(3x34x25x)e3x\frac{d}{dx} \left( y e^{3x} \right) = \left( 3x^3 - 4x^2 - 5x \right) e^{3x}

Step 3: Integrate both sides

We now integrate both sides with respect to xx:

ye3x=(3x34x25x)e3xdxy e^{3x} = \int \left( 3x^3 - 4x^2 - 5x \right) e^{3x} \, dx

This is an integration by parts problem, and to solve it, we can break down the integrals for each term on the right-hand side.

Step 4: Solve the integral

We'll solve each term separately:

  1. For the term 3x3e3x3x^3 e^{3x},
  2. For 4x2e3x-4x^2 e^{3x},
  3. For 5xe3x-5x e^{3x}.

The complete solution involves repeated integration by parts. To simplify things, the result of this integration is:

[ y e^{3x} = \frac{x^3}{e^{3x}} - \frac{4x^2
