Problem 01 | Substitution Suggested by the Equation

Problem 01
$(3x - 2y + 1)~dx + (3x - 2y + 3)~dy = 0$
 

Solution 01
$(3x - 2y + 1)~dx + (3x - 2y + 3)~dy = 0$
 

Let
$z = 3x - 2y$

$dz = 3~dx - 2~dy$

$dy = \frac{1}{2}(3~dx - dz)$
 

Thus,
$(z + 1)~dx + (z + 3)[ \, \frac{1}{2}(3~dx - dz) \, ] = 0$

$(z + 1)~dx + \frac{3}{2}(z + 3)~dx - \frac{1}{2}(z + 3)~dz = 0$

$[ \, (z + 1) + (\frac{3}{2}z + \frac{9}{2}) \, ]~dx - \frac{1}{2}(z + 3)~dz = 0$

$(\frac{5}{2}z + \frac{11}{2})~dx - \frac{1}{2}(z + 3)~dz = 0$

Problem 04 | Determination of Integrating Factor

Problem 04
$y(4x + y)~dx - 2(x^2 - y)~dy = 0$
 

Solution 04
$M~dx + N~dy = 0$

$y(4x + y)~dx - 2(x^2 - y)~dy = 0$
 

$M = y(4x + y) = 4xy + y^2$

$N = -2(x^2 - y) = -2x^2 + 2y$
 

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} = 4x + 2y$

$\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = -4x$
 

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = (4x + 2y) - (-4x)$

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = 8x + 2y$
 

Problem 03 | Determination of Integrating Factor

Problem 03
$y(2x - y + 1)~dx + x(3x - 4y + 3)~dy = 0$
 

Solution 03
$M~dx + N~dy = 0$

$y(2x - y + 1)~dx + x(3x - 4y + 3)~dy = 0$
 

$M = y(2x - y + 1) = 2xy - y^2 + y$

$N = x(3x - 4y + 3) = 3x^2 - 4xy + 3x$
 

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} = 2x - 2y + 1$

$\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = 6x - 4y + 3$
 

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = (2x - 2y + 1) - (6x - 4y + 3)$

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = -4x + 2y - 2$

Problem 02 | Determination of Integrating Factor

Problem 02
$2y(x^2 - y + x)~dx + (x^2 - 2y)~dy = 0$
 

Solution 02
$M~dx + N~dy = 0$

$2y(x^2 - y + x)~dx + (x^2 - 2y)~dy = 0$
 

$M = 2y(x^2 - y + x) = 2x^2y - 2y^2 + 2xy$

$N = x^2 - 2y$
 

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} = 2x^2 - 4y + 2x$

$\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = 2x$
 

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = (2x^2 - 4y + 2x) - 2x$

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = 2x^2 - 4y = 2(x^2 - 2y)$
 

Problem 01 | Determination of Integrating Factor

Problem 01
$(x^2 + y^2 + 1)~dx + x(x - 2y)~dy = 0$
 

Solution 01
$M~dx + N~dy = 0$

$(x^2 + y^2 + 1)~dx + x(x - 2y)~dy = 0$
 

$M = x^2 + y^2 + 1$

$N = x(x - 2y) = x^2 - 2xy$
 

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} = 2y$

$\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = 2x - 2y$
 

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = 2y - (2x - 2y)$

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} = -2x + 4y$

The Determination of Integrating Factor

From the differential equation
 

$M ~ dx + N ~ dy = 0$

 

Rule 1
If   $\dfrac{1}{N}\left( \dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} \right) = f(x)$,   a function of x alone, then   $u = e^{\int f(x)~dx}$   is the integrating factor.

 

Rule 2
If   $\dfrac{1}{M}\left( \dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} \right) = f(y)$,   a function of y alone, then   $u = e^{-\int f(y)~dy}$   is the integrating factor.

$\mathcal{L}^{-1} \left[ \dfrac{5}{s - 2} - \dfrac{4s}{s^2 + 9} \right]= 5\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left( \dfrac{1}{s - 2} \right) - 4\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left( \dfrac{s}{s^2 + 9} \right)$

$\mathcal{L}^{-1} \left[ \dfrac{5}{s - 2} - \dfrac{4s}{s^2 + 9} \right]= 5e^{2t}\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left( \dfrac{1}{s} \right) - 4\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left( \dfrac{s}{s^2 + 3^2} \right)$
