General method for a LODE (linear ordinary differential equation) :
(LODE) : y' + a(x).y = b(x)
First consider the homogenuous LODE (HLODE)
(HLODE) : y' + a(x).y = 0
Find a solution for (HLODE) of the form : y₀(x) = K. exp(-A(x))
where A is an anti-derivative of a.
Example with (1) : x.y' = x² + 3y
(1) : y' = x + 3 y/x
(LODE) : y' - (3/x).y = x
(HLODE) : y' - (3/x).y = 0
a(x) = - 3/x
A(x) = - 3 . log x
y₀ = K. exp (3. log x) = K. x^3
Now try to find a specific solution for (LODE) by considering that the constant K is no longer constant : K -> K(x)
y₁ (x) = K(x). x^3 is a solution of (LODE) if and only if : y₁ ' = x + 3 y₁/x
with :
y₁ '(x) = K'(x). x^3 + 3 K(x). x²
In turn :
K'(x). x^3 + 3 K(x). x² = x + 3.K(x). x^3 / x
iff
K'(x).x^3 = x
iff
K'(x) = 1/x²
iff
K(x) = - 1/x
That should give you a specific solution : y₁ (x) = (-1/x). x^3 = - x^2
(at that point, you can check that y₁ works)
Conclusion : the general form of a solution for (LODE) is y = y₀ + y₁ :
y(x) = K. x^3 - x^2
where K is a real constant.
i just used integating factor for 1 and it wroked lol... I got y = - x^2 + x^3 *c OR y/x^3 = -1/x + c
#2 im stuck on,
its not exact, separable, homogenous
