Solve the following differential equation:
xdy – (y + 2x2) dx = 0
Given: differential equation xdy – (y + 2x2) dx = 0
To find: the value of given differential equation
given: xdy – (y + 2x2) dx = 0
Dividing throughout by dx,
![]()
Dividing throughout by x we get,
![]()
![]()
This is of the of the standard form, i.e.,
![]()
Where
and Q=2x
And we know the integrating factor is
IF=e∫P dx
Substituting the value of P in the IF, we get
![]()
![]()
But we know integration of
is log x, substituting this in athe bove equation, we get
IF=e-log( x)
Or,
![]()
But elog x=x, so he above equation becomes,
IF=x-1
![]()
So the general solution of a differential equation is
y(IF)=∫(Q×I.F)dx+C
Substituting the corresponding values in the above equation, we get
![]()
![]()
On integrating, we get
![]()
![]()
Or
y=2x2+Cx
Hence this is the solution of the given differential equation
