Solve the following differential equations by method (a) or (b) above.

xy''=y'+y'3

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution of the differential equation is y=-A-x2+B.

Step by step solution

01

Given information from question

The differential equation is xy''=y'+y'3.

02

Differential equation

A differential equation is an equation that contains one or more functions with its derivatives. The derivatives of the function define the rate of change of a function at a point.

03

Solve by using the substitutiony'≡p, also imply y''=p'.

The given equation is lacking by dependent variable y, thus it can be significantly simplified by using the substitutiony'≡p, also imply y''=p'. Inserting this transformation into the equation,

xp'=p+p3

The previous equation is separable and factorize its RHS into p1+p2:

xdpdx=p1+p2=dpp1+p2=dxx …….. (1)

The integral on the RHS is table integral. Now start by factoring out p2from the parenthesis in the denominator:

∫dpp1+p2=∫dpp31+1p2 …….. (2)

In the above equation, the derivative of the expression in the parentheses would yield up to the constant factor, a factor outside the parentheses. Now the result after substitution as:

u=1+1p2⇒du=-2dpp3⇒dpp3=-du2

Combine equation (1) and (2),

-duu=2dxx

04

Integrate the equation by using table integral ∫dxx=ln|x|+C

This form of the equation is easily integral by using the table integral ∫dxx=ln|x|+C and identity alnx=lnxa

-lnu=lnx2+A

Now using the identity lnx+lny=lnxyalong with the definition u=1+1p2

ln11+1v2=lnAx2withA≡eA

The previous equation is

1p2=1Ax2-1⇒p=11Ax2-1

Solve fory remembering thatp=dydx :

dydx=11Ax2-1⇒dy=Axdx1-Ax2

Multiply the RHS of the previous equation with1=xAxA .

Noting that the derivative of expression inside the square root yield the denominator of said RHS up to a constant factor, make the variable substitution u=1-Ax2⇒du=-2Axdxand insert it into the differential equation obtained:

dy=-A2Aduu⇒y=-A2A(2u)+B=-1Au+B

By virtue of the table integral ∫xn=1n+1xn+1+const and with integration constant labelled by B. Rewritingu in terms ofx and relabelBA→B to obtain:

yA=-1-Ax2+BA⇒y=-1A-x2+B

At the end, relabel 1A→Afor further convenience

y=-A-x2+B

Thus, the solution of the differential equation isy=-A-x2+B .

Find the orthogonal trajectories of each of the following families of curves. In each case, sketch or computer plot several of the given curves and several of their orthogonal trajectories. Be careful to eliminate the constant from y'for the original curves; this constant takes different values for different curves of the original family, and you want an expression for y'which is valid for all curves of the family crossed by the orthogonal trajectory you are trying to find. See equations (2.10)to (2.12)

Heat is escaping at a constant rate [dQdtin (1.1)is constant] through the walls of a long cylindrical pipe. Find the temperature T at a distance r from the axis of the cylinder if the inside wall has radius r=1and temperature T=100and the outside wall has r=2and T=0

(a)Consider a light beam travelling downward into the ocean. As the beam progresses, it is partially absorbed and its intensity decreases. The rate at which the intensity is decreasing with depth at any point is proportional to the intensity at that depth. The proportionality constant μis called the linear absorption coefficient. Show that if the intensity at the surface is I0, the intensity at a distance s below the surface is I=I0eμs. The linear absorption coefficient for water is of the order of 10.2ft.1(the exact value depending on the wavelength of the light and the impurities in the water). For this value of μ, find the intensity as a fraction of the surface intensity at a depth of 1 ft, ft,ft,mile. When the intensity of a light beam has been reduced to half its surface intensity (I=12I0), the distance the light has penetrated into the absorbing substance is called the half-value thickness of the substance. Find the half-value thickness in terms of μ. Find the half-value thickness for water for the value of μgiven above.

(b) Note that the differential equation and its solution in this problem are mathematically the same as those in Example 1, although the physical problem and the terminology are different. In discussing radioactive decay, we call λthe decay constant, and we define the half-life T of a radioactive substance as the time when N=12N0(compare half-value thickness). Find the relation between λand T.
