Query 05 Differential Equations*********************************************

Question: 3.2.6. Solve y ' + e^y t = e^y sin(t) with initial condition y(0) = 0.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Y’ = -e^y* t + e^y*(sin(t))

F_y (partial derivative) = e^(y) * sin((t) -t)

(y’ / -e^(y)*t) - e^(y)*sin(t) = 0

Take the antiderivative:

Int ((y’ / -e^(y)*t) dt) - Int (e^(y)*sin(t) dt) = C

I got stuck here but I know after the integration you solve for y(t) and impose the initial condition y(0) = 0.

@&

The equation can be written as

dy/dt = e^y ( sin(t) - t )

which we can write as

dy / e^y = (sin(t) - t) dt.

Integrating both sides we get

-e^(-y) = -cos(t) - t^2 / 2 + c,

which we write as

e^(-y) = cos(t) + t^2 / 2 + c

before solving for y. We obtain

y = - ln | cos(t) + t^2 / 2 + c |.

y(0) = - ln | cos(0) + 0^2 / 2 + c | = ln | 1 + c |.

- ln | 1 + c | = 0 if 1 + c = 1, so c = 0 and our solution is

y = - ln | cos(t) + t^2 / 2 |

Question: 3.2.10. Solve 3 y^2 y ' + 2 t = 1 with initial condition y(0) = -1.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Y’ = (1-2t) / (3y^2)

F_y = 2(2t-1) / (3y^3)

F_t = (-2) / (3y^2)

Y’*(3y^2) - (1-2t) = 0

Int (y’(t)*(3y^2) dt) - Int (1-2t dt) = C

Int (y’(t)*(3y^2) dt) - (t-t^2) = C

I’m stuck on integrating the left side, but I know how to solve the problem afterwards. Solve for y(t) and impose the initial condition y(0) = -1

@& You need to separate variables. All the y terms on one side, with dy, and all the t terms on the other with dt.

This equation is easily rearranged into the form

3 y^2 dy = (1 - 2 t) dt

which we integrate to get

y^3 = t - t^2 + c.

Solving for y we get

y = (t - t^2 + c) ^ (1/3 ).

Applying the initial condition y(0) = -1 we have

-1 = (0 - 0^2 + c)^(1/3)

so that c = -1.

Our final solution is

y = (t - t^2 - 1) ^ (1/3).

Question: 3.2.18. State a problem whose implicit solution is given by y^3 + t^2 + sin(y) = 4, including a specific initial condition at t = 2.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

d/dt = 2t

d/dy = cos(y) + 3y^2

Since the implicit solution is found AFTER integration, wouldn’t you find the derivative of the equation, “un-separate” the variables and that will give you the initial value problem?

@& You're certainly on the right track.

This equation can be written as

y^3 + sin(y) = -t^2 + c,

which is the integral of the equation

(3 y^2 + cos(y)) dy = -t dt

so our equation is

(3 y^2 + cos(y) ) y ' = - t.

To get the given implicit solution we need c = 4.

The left-hand side of the equation is equal to 0 when y = 0, and the right-hand side is 0 when t = sqrt(c) (provided c > 0).

Since we need c = 4, our condition becomes y = 0 when t = sqrt(4) = 2, which we express as

y(2) = 0.

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION

y^3 + t^2 + sin(y) = 4

can be differentiated with respect to t to obtain the differential equation

3 y^2 y ' + 2 t + cos(y) y ' = 0.

y(2) can be determined by letting t = 2 in the equation y^3 + t^2 + sin(y) = 4, obtaining

y^3 + 2^2 + sin(y) = 4 implies

y^3 + sin(y) = 0,

which is satisfied by y = 0. So our initial condition would be

y(2) = 0.

Question: 3.2.24. Solve the equation y ' = (y^2 + 2 y + 1) sin(t) and determine the t interval over which he solution exists.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Partial derivative: 2(y+1) * sin(t)

How would I finish this using theorem 3.1? (y’ = f(t,y) and y(t0) = y0)

@& Again you need to separate the variable then integrate.

You're trying to find y from information about y and y '. If you take the derivative of the y ' expression you're going in the wrong direction.

We rewrite the equation in the form

dy / (y ^2 + 2 y + 1) = sin(t) dt.

Factoring the denominator of the left-hand side we have

dy / (y + 1) ^ 2 = sin(t) dt

Integrating we get

-1 / (y + 1) = -cos(t) + c

so that

y = 1 / (cos(t) + c) - 1.
