Math Problem Statement

5.Solve the given nonlinear differential equation a) a) x 2 dy dx − 2xy = 3y 4 b) dy dx − y = y 3e 3x C) dy dx = y(xy 3 −1)

Solution

Let's solve each nonlinear differential equation one by one.


a) x2dydx2xy=3y4x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} - 2xy = 3y^4

Step 1: Rearrange the equation

We start by dividing through by x2x^2:

dydx2yx=3y4x2\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{2y}{x} = \frac{3y^4}{x^2}

Now, the equation is more manageable.

Step 2: Use substitution

This is a first-order nonlinear differential equation, but it has the potential for simplification using substitution. Let's attempt a substitution of the form:

v=yxv = yx

This will simplify the equation further.

We'll continue the solution from here.


b) dydxy=y3e3x\frac{dy}{dx} - y = y^3 e^{3x}

Step 1: Rearrange the equation

Rearrange the equation to isolate dydx\frac{dy}{dx}:

dydx=y+y3e3x\frac{dy}{dx} = y + y^3 e^{3x}

Step 2: Use substitution or identify the type

This is a Bernoulli equation. Let's solve using a substitution v=y2v = y^{-2} and rewrite the equation.

Substitute and solve accordingly.


c) dydx=y(xy31)\frac{dy}{dx} = y(xy^3 - 1)

Step 1: Separate variables

This equation can be separated as:

1y(xy31)dy=dx\frac{1}{y(xy^3 - 1)} \, dy = dx

Now, integrate both sides to find the solution.
