Mathematics Question on General and Particular Solutions of a Differential Equation
Let y=y(x) be the solution of the differential equation dxdy=3xy2+x34y3+2yx2,y(1)=1 If for some n∈N,y(2)∈[n−1,n), then n is equal to ______
Answer
The correct answer is 3
dxdy=3xy2+x34y3+2yx2,y(1)=1
dxdy=3(y/x)2+14(y/x)3+2(y/x)
y=xp
xdxdp+p=3p2+14p3+2p
xdxdp=3p2+1p3+p
∫p3+p3p2+1dp=∫xdx
ln(p3+p)=lnx+lnC
p3+p=xC
(xy)3+(xy)=xC
y3+x2y=x4C
x=1,y=1
1+1=C⇒C=2
y3+x2y=2x4
Put x=2
y3+4y−32=0
Having root between 2 and 3
y(2)∈[2,3)
