Find the general solution of the given differential equation. x dy/dx -y= x2 sin(x)
Solution:
First, divide both sides by x2
By doing this any possible solution exists on either (-∞, 0) or (0, ∞)
1/x dy/dx - y/x2 = sin x
Now condense the left side as a derivative of a product and integrate both sides and solve for y
d/dx [y/x] = sin x
y/x = ∫ sin x dx
y = Cx - x cos x
Therefore, the general solution is y = Cx - x cos x.
Find the general solution of the given differential equation.
x dy/dx -y= x2 sin(x)
Summary:
The general solution of the given differential equation x dy/dx -y= x2 sin(x) is y = Cx - x cos x.
