DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

MODULE 2a
EQUATIONS OF ORDER ONE

SOLUTIONS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

A solution to a differential equation is an equation, free of derivatives,


that satisfies the given differential equation.
Example: Show that y=x 2 +cx is a solution of the differential
equation x y ' =x 2 + y
Solution:
y=x 2 +cx y ' =2 x+ c
If this is the solution, then it must satisfy the given differential
equation. Substituting into the given differential equation, we
have
x ( 2 x +c )=x 2+(x 2 +cx )
2 x2 + cx=2 x 2 +cx
Therefore the equation is satisfied.

Kinds of Solutions to Differential Equations

1. General solution – a solution which contains a number of


independent arbitrary constants equal to the order of the
differential equation.
2. Particular solution – a solution which can be obtained from the
general solution by giving specific values to one or more of
the constants.

First Order Equations

Explicit form: dx = F ( x , y )
Implicit form: M ( x , y ) dx+ N ( x , y ) dy=o
I. Equations that are VARIABLE SEPARABLE

A first-order differential equation that is either of the


explicit or implicit form, is variable separable if, by algebraic
manipulation, it can be transformed into the form
A ( x ) dx + B ( y ) dy=0
The solution can then be obtained by integrating each term
of the above equation.

Illustrative Examples:
1. Solve the equation sin x sin ydx +cos x cos ydy=0.
Solution:
Divide both sides of the equation by sin y cos x .
sin x cos y
dx + dy ¿ 0
cos x sin y
Integrating each term of the equation, we get
−lncos x + lnsin y =ln c
ln sin y=ln c+ ln cos x
ln sin y=ln c cos x
sin y=c cos x Ans.
