For each of the differential equations given in Exercises 1 to 12, find the general solution:

(x+3y2)dydx=y(y>0).(x + 3y^2) \frac{dy}{dx} = y \quad (y > 0).
Correct Answer

The given differential equation is (x+3y2)dydx=y(x + 3y^2) \frac{dy}{dx} = y. To find the general solution, we first rearrange the terms to express it in the standard linear form. Since the equation is linear in terms of xx, we write it in the form dxdy+P(y)x=Q(y)\frac{dx}{dy} + P(y)x = Q(y).

Rearranging the equation, we have dydx=yx+3y2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x + 3y^2}. Inverting both sides gives dxdy=x+3y2y\frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{x + 3y^2}{y}. Simplifying the right-hand side, we separate the terms to get dxdy=xy+3y2y\frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{x}{y} + \frac{3y^2}{y}. This leads to the standard linear form:

dxdy−1yx=3y\frac{dx}{dy} - \frac{1}{y}x = 3y

Here, the coefficient of xx is P(y)=−1yP(y) = -\frac{1}{y} and the term on the right is Q(y)=3yQ(y) = 3y.

Next, we determine the Integrating Factor (I.F.). The I.F. is given by e∫P(y) dye^{\int P(y) \, dy}. Substituting the value of P(y)P(y), we calculate I.F.=e∫−1y dy\text{I.F.} = e^{\int -\frac{1}{y} \, dy}. Solving the integration, we get ∫−1y dy=−ln⁡y=ln⁡(y−1)\int -\frac{1}{y} \, dy = -\ln y = \ln(y^{-1}). Therefore, the Integrating Factor is eln⁡(y−1)=y−1=1ye^{\ln(y^{-1})} = y^{-1} = \frac{1}{y}.

Using the solution formula for a linear differential equation, x⋅(I.F.)=∫Q(y)⋅(I.F.) dy+Cx \cdot (\text{I.F.}) = \int Q(y) \cdot (\text{I.F.}) \, dy + C, we substitute the values. Multiplying the standard form equation by the I.F. 1y\frac{1}{y}, we get xy=∫3y⋅1y dy+C\frac{x}{y} = \int 3y \cdot \frac{1}{y} \, dy + C. Simplifying the integrand, the equation becomes xy=∫3 dy+C\frac{x}{y} = \int 3 \, dy + C.

Finally, performing the integration on the right-hand side, we obtain xy=3y+C\frac{x}{y} = 3y + C. Multiplying both sides by yy to isolate xx, we arrive at the final expression. The general solution of the given differential equation is:

x=3y2+Cy\mathbf{x = 3y^2 + Cy}

Explanation

The question asks for the general solution of a differential equation listed in Exercise 9.5 of the provided context. The equation (x+3y2)dydx=y(x + 3y^2) \frac{dy}{dx} = y is a linear differential equation in xx. The context confirms this classification by listing it alongside other linear equations (like dydx+2y=sin⁡x\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = \sin x) under Exercise 9.5. The solution involves rewriting the equation in the form dxdy+Px=Q\frac{dx}{dy} + Px = Q, finding the integrating factor e∫P dye^{\int P \, dy}, and integrating. The condition y>0y > 0 ensures the logarithmic integration is valid.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Rewrite the equation in standard linear form. Given (x+3y2)dydx=y(x + 3y^2) \frac{dy}{dx} = y, invert to find dxdy=x+3y2y=xy+3y\frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{x + 3y^2}{y} = \frac{x}{y} + 3y. Thus,

    dxdy−1yx=3y\frac{dx}{dy} - \frac{1}{y}x = 3y
  2. Step 2: Identify P(y)P(y) and Q(y)Q(y). Here, P(y)=−1yP(y) = -\frac{1}{y} and Q(y)=3yQ(y) = 3y.

  3. Step 3: Calculate the Integrating Factor (I.F.).

    I.F.=e∫−1y dy=e−ln⁡y=1y\text{I.F.} = e^{\int -\frac{1}{y} \, dy} = e^{-\ln y} = \frac{1}{y}
  4. Step 4: Apply the solution formula x(I.F.)=∫Q(I.F.) dy+Cx(\text{I.F.}) = \int Q(\text{I.F.}) \, dy + C. Substituting values:

    x⋅1y=∫3y⋅1y dy+Cx \cdot \frac{1}{y} = \int 3y \cdot \frac{1}{y} \, dy + C
  5. Step 5: Integrate the right side.

    xy=∫3 dy+C=3y+C\frac{x}{y} = \int 3 \, dy + C = 3y + C
  6. Step 6: Solve for the general solution. Multiply by yy:

    x=3y2+Cy\mathbf{x = 3y^2 + Cy}
