Explanation

This is a homogeneous differential equation. The student needs to recognize the homogeneous form, apply the substitution y=vxy = vx to separate variables, integrate, and then apply the boundary condition to find the particular solution.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Rewrite the equation in standard form

    Given:

    2xy+y2−2x2dydx=02xy + y^2 - 2x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} = 0

    Rearranging:

    2x2dydx=2xy+y22x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} = 2xy + y^2 dydx=2xy+y22x2=yx+y22x2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2xy + y^2}{2x^2} = \frac{y}{x} + \frac{y^2}{2x^2}
  2. Step 2: Identify as homogeneous and substitute y = vx

    This is a homogeneous differential equation.

    Let y=vxy = vx, so

    dydx=v+xdvdx\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x\frac{dv}{dx}

    Substituting:

    v+xdvdx=v+v22v + x\frac{dv}{dx} = v + \frac{v^2}{2}
  3. Step 3: Separate variables and integrate

    xdvdx=v22x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{v^2}{2} 2v2dv=dxx\frac{2}{v^2}dv = \frac{dx}{x}

    Integrating:

    −2v=ln⁡∣x∣+C-\frac{2}{v} = \ln|x| + C
  4. Step 4: Substitute back and apply the condition

    Substituting v=yxv = \frac{y}{x}:

    −2xy=ln⁡∣x∣+C-\frac{2x}{y} = \ln|x| + C

    Given: y=2y = 2 when x=1x = 1

    −2(1)2=ln⁡(1)+C-\frac{2(1)}{2} = \ln(1) + C −1=0+C-1 = 0 + C

    ∴ C=−1C = -1

  5. Step 5: Write the particular solution

    −2xy=ln⁡x−1-\frac{2x}{y} = \ln x - 1 2xy=1−ln⁡x\frac{2x}{y} = 1 - \ln x

    ∴ y=2x1−ln⁡xy = \frac{2x}{1 - \ln x}
