The problem continues! Original differential equation: y'2xy=xe-x2
Copy over your results so far: ,p(x)=2x,f(x)=xe,y1=e-x
2/2
(e) We're looking for solutions of the form y=uy1 where u is some function of x.
Starting with the general form y'p(x)y=f(x), we can substitute y=uy1 to get:
y'p(x)y=f(x)
(uy1)'p(x)(uy1)=f(x)
applying the product rule (u'y1uy1')up(x)*y1=f(x)
u'y1uy1'up(x)y1=f(x)
factoring out u,u'y1u(y1'p(x)y1)=f(x)
remember y1'p(x)y1=0,u'y1u*0=f(x)
u'y1=f(x)
Write an equation that represents the condition u'y1=f(x) for this problem.
(f) Solve for u', then integrate both sides to find u. Your answer will involve an unknown constant c.
u'=
u=
(g) Write your general solution y=uy1 here.
y=
(h) Check that your solution y satisfies the original differential equation.
