Q. What is the particular solution to the differential equation dxdy=x2e2y4 with the initial condition y(1)=0 ?
Separate variables: Separate the variables in the differential equation.We want to get all the y terms on one side and all the x terms on the other side. We can do this by multiplying both sides by e2y and dx, and dividing both sides by x2.e2ydy=(x24)dx
Integrate both sides: Integrate both sides of the equation.We need to integrate e2y with respect to y and x24 with respect to x.∫e2ydy=∫(x24)dx
Perform integration: Perform the integration.The integral of e2y with respect to y is (21)e2y, and the integral of x24 with respect to x is −x4.(21)e2y=−x4+C, where C is the constant of integration.
Solve for constant: Solve for the constant of integration using the initial condition.We are given that y(1)=0. Plugging these values into our integrated equation gives us:(1/2)e(2∗0)=−4/1+C(1/2)∗1=−4+CC=4+1/2C=4.5
Write particular solution: Write the particular solution with the constant.Now that we have the value of C, we can write the particular solution:21e2y=−x4+4.5
Check with initial condition: Check the solution with the initial condition.Plugging x=1 and y=0 into the particular solution to see if both sides are equal:(1/2)e(2⋅0)=−4/1+4.51/2=−4+4.51/2=0.5Both sides are equal, so the initial condition is satisfied.
