DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS – I
Introduction:
The mathematical study of change like motion, growth or decay is calculus. The Rate of change of
given function is derivative or differential.

The concept of derivative is essential in day to day life. Also applicable in Engineering, Science,
Economics, Medicine etc.

Leibnitz’s Theorem :
It provides a useful formula for computing the nth derivative of a product of two functions.
Statement : If u and v are any two functions of x with un and vn as their nth derivative. Then the nth
derivative of uv is

(uv)n = u0vn + nC1 u1vn-1 + nC2u2vn-2 + …+nCn-1un-1v1+unv0


Note : We can interchange u & v (uv)n = (vu)n,
nC = n , nC2 = n(n-1) /2! , nC3= n(n-1)(n-2) /3! …

1. Find the nth derivations of eax cos(bx + c)

.in
Solution: y1 = eax – b sin (bx +c) + a eax cos (b x + c), by product rule.
.i.e, y1 = eax [a cos (bx + c ) − b sin (bx + c )]
Let us put a = r cos θ , and b = r sin θ .
∴ a 2 + b 2 = r 2 and tan θ = b / a
sy
ea
.ie., r = a 2 + b 2 and θ = tan-1 (b/a)
Now, y1 = e ax [r cos θ cos(bx + c) − r sin θ sin( bx + c)]
y

Ie., y1 = r eax cos (θ + bx + c )


ud

where we have used the formula cos A cos B – sin A sin B = cos (A + B)
Differentiating again and simplifying as before,
st

y2 = r2 eax cos (2θ + bx + c ) .


Similarly y3 = r3 e ax cos (3θ + bx + c ) .
………………………………………
Thus y n = r n e ax cos(nθ + bx + c )

Where r = a 2 + b 2 and θ = tan-1 (b/a).


Thus Dn [eax cos (b x + c)]

[ [
= ( a 2 + b 2 ) n e ax cos n tan −1 (b / a ) + bx + c ]]

Continuity & Differentiability

Some Fundamental Definitions

A function f (x) is defined in the interval I, then it is said to be continuous at a point x = a


if lim f ( x) = f (a)
x→a f ( x + h) − f (a)
A function f (x) is said to be differentiable at x = a if lim = f '(a) exists a ∈I
h→0 h

⎧− x −1 ≤ x ≤ 0
Ex : Consider a function f (x) is defined in the interval [-1,1] by f (x) = x =⎨
⎩ x 0 ≤ x ≤1

It is continuous at x = 0

.in
But not differentiable at x = 0

Note : If a function f (x) is differentiable then it is continuous, but converse need not be true.
Geometrically :

(1) If f (x) is Continuous at x =a means, f (x) has no breaks or jumps at the point x = a

(2) If f (x) is differentiable at x = a means, the graph of f (x) has a unique tangent at the point or graph

1. Give the definitions of Continuity & Differentiability:

Solution: A function f (x) is said to be continuous at x = a, if corresponding to an arbitrary positive


number ε, however small, their exists another positive number δ such that.

⏐f (x) – f (a)⏐ < ε, where ⏐x - a⏐ < δ

It is clear from the above definition that a function f (x) is continuous at a point ‘a’.

If (i) it exists at x = a

(ii) Lt f (x) = f (a)


x→a

i.e, limiting value of the function at x = a is to the value of the function at x = a

Differentiability:
A function f (x) is said to be differentiable in the interval (a, b), if it is differentiable at
every point in the interval.
In Case [a,b] the function should posses derivatives at every point and at the end points a & b i.e., Rf1
(a) and Lf1 (a) exists.

2. State Rolle’s Theorem with Geometric Interpretation.


Statement: Let f (x) be a function is defined on [a,b] & it satisfies the following Conditions.

(i) f (x) is continuous in [a,b]

(ii) f (x) is differentiable in (a,b)

(iii) f (a) = f (b)


Then there exists at least a point C∈ (a,b), Here a < b such that f1 ( c ) = 0

Proof:

Let us consider the graph of the function y = f (x) in xy – plane. A (a,.f(a)) and
B (b, f( b ) ) be the two points in the curve f (x) and a, b are the corresponding end points of A & B
respectively. Now, explained the conditions of Rolle’s theorem as follows.

(i) f (x) is continuous function in [a,b], Because from figure without breaks or jumps in
between A & B on y = f (x).

(ii) f (x) is a differentiable in (a,b), that means let us joining the points A & B, we
get a line AB.

∴ Slope of the line AB = 0 then ∃ a point C at P and also the tangent at P (or Q or R or S) is
Parallel to x –axis.

∴ Slope of the tangent at P (or Q or R or S) to be Zero even the curve y = f (x) decreases or
increases, i.e., f (x) is Constant.

f1 (x) = 0

∴f1 (c) = 0
(iii) The Slope of the line AB is equal to Zero, i.e., the line AB is parallel to x – axis.

∴ f (a) = f (b)

3. Verify Rolle’s Theorem for the function f (x) = x2 – 4x + 8 in the internal [1,3]

Solution: We know that every Poly nominal is continuous and differentiable for all points and hence f
(x) is continuous and differentiable in the internal [1,3].

Also f (1) = 1 – 4 + 8 = 5, f (3) = 32 – 43 + 8 = 5

Hence f (1) = f (3)

.in
Thus f (x) satisfies all the conditions of the Rolle’s Theorem. Now f1 (x) = 2x – 4 and f1 (x) = 0
⇒ 2x – 4 = 0 or x = 2. Clearly 1 < 2 < 3. Hence there exists 2t (1,3) such that f1 (2) = 0. This shows
that Rolle’s Theorem holds good for the given function f (x) in the given interval.

st

Also f (-3) = 0, f (0) = 0 so that f (-3) = f (0) so that f (-3) = f (0). Thus f (x) satisfies all the conditions of
the Rolle’s Theorem.

Now, f1 (x) = 0

1 −x
⇒ − ( x 2 − x − 6) e 2 = 0
2
Solving this equation we get x = 3 or x = -2

Clearly –3 < -2 < 0. Hence there exists –2∈ (-3,0) such that f1 (-2) = 0

This proves that Rolle’s Theorem is true for the given function.

Clearly Sinx is continuous for all x.

Also f1 (x) = Cos x exists for all x in (-π, π) and f (-π) = Sin (-π) = 0; f (π) = Sin (π) = 0 so that f (-π) = f

Thus f (x) satisfies all the conditions of the Rolle’s Theorem .

Where A is a Constant to be determined.

So that g (a) = g (b)

Now, g (a) = f (a) – Aa

Corollary: Put b – a = h

Let x = c, f1 ( c) = 3c2 – 6c + 11

Proof: The ratio of the increments of two functions called Cauchy’s Theorem.
Statement: Let g (x) and f (x) be two functions of x such that,

(i) Both f (x) and g (x) are continuous in [a,b]

(ii) Both f (x) and g (x) are differentiable in (a,b)

(iii) g1 (x) ≠ 0 for any x ε (a,b)

These three exists at least are value x = c ε (a,b) at which

f 1 (c) f (b) − f (a)

Proof: Define a function,

φ (x) = f (x) – A. g (x) sy


------------------ (1)

So that φ (a) = φ (b) and A is a Constant to be determined.


ea
Now, φ (a) = f (a) – A g (a)

φ (b) = f (b) – A. g (b)

∴ f (a) – A g (a) = f (b) – A. g (b)


f (b) − f (b)

g (b) − g (a )

Now, φ is continuous in [a,b] as r.h.s of (1) is continuous in [a,b] and φ (x) is differentiable in
(a,b) as r.h.s of (1) is differentiable in [a,b].

Also φ (a) = φ (b)

Hence all the conditions of Rolle’s Theorem are satisfied then there exists a value x = c ∈ (a,b)
such that φ1 ( c ) = 0.

Now, Differentiating (1) W.r.t x, we get

φ1 (x) = f1 (x) – A.g1 (x)

Substituting (3) in (2), we get

g 1 (c) g (b) − g (a )
Hence the proof.

Both f (x) and g (x) are Polynomial in x. Hence they are continuous and differentiable for all x

Now, f1 (x) = 2x, g1 (x) = 3x2

Also g 1 (x) ≠ 0 for all x ∈ (1,3)

29. Expand tan –1 x by using Macluarin’s Theorem up to the term containing x 5


Solution: let y = tan –1 x, Hence y (0) = 0
1
We find that y 1 = which gives y 1 (0) = 1
1+ x2
Further y 1 (1 + x 2) = 1, Differentiating we get

Y 1 . 2x + (1 + x 2) y 2 = 0 (or) (1 + x2) y 2 + 2xy 1 = 0


Hence y 2 (0) = 0
Taking n th derivative an both sides by using Leibniz’s Theorem, we get
n( n − 1)
(1 + x 2) y n + 2 + n . 2xy n +1 + . 2. y n + 2xy n – 1 + n.2.y n = 0
1 .2
i.e., (1 + x 2) y n + 2 + 2 (n +1) x y n + 1 + n (n + 1) y n = 0

Substituting x = 0, we get, y n + 2 (0) = -n (n + 1) y n (0)

.in
For n = 1, we get y 3 (0) = - 2y 1 (0) = - 2

For n = 2, we get y 4 (0) = - 2 .3.y 2 (0) = 0

Polar Curves
If we traverse in a hill section where the road is not straight, we often see caution boards hairpin
bend ahead, sharp bend ahead etc. This gives an indication of the difference in the amount of bending
of a road at various points which is the curvature at various points. In this chapter we discuss about the
curvature, radius of curvature etc.

Consider a point P in the xy-Plane.

1. Find the angle of intersection of the curves:


r = a (1 + cos θ ) & r = b (1 - cos θ )
st

Solution : r = a (1 + cos θ) : r = b(1 – cos θ)


⇒ log r = log a + log (1 + cos θ) : log r = log b + log (1 – cos θ)

Differentiating these w.r.t. θ we get

cot φ1 = : cot φ 2 =
2 cos 2 (θ/2 ) 2 sin 2 (θ/2 )
ie., cot φ1 = - tan (θ /2 ) = cot (π/2 + θ /2 ) : cot φ 2 = cot (θ /2 )

⇒ φ 1 = π /2 + θ /2 : φ 2 = θ/2

∴ angle of intersection = φ1 - φ 2 = π/2 + θ/2 - θ/2 = π/2

Hence the curves intersect orthogonally.


2. S.T. the curves r = a (1 + sin θ ) & r = a (1 - sin θ ) cut each other orthogonally

Solution : log r = log a + log (1 + sin θ) : log r = log a + log (1 – sin θ)

3. Find the angle of intersection of the curves:

r = sin θ + cos θ, r = 2 sin θ


ud

Solution : log r = log (sin θ + cos θ) : r = 2 sin θ


⇒ log r = log (sin θ + cos θ ) : log r = log 2 + log (sin θ)
st

Differentiating these w.r.t θ we get


1 dr cos θ - sin θ 1 dr cos θ
= : =
r dθ sin θ + cos θ r dθ sin θ
cos θ (1 - tan θ )
ie., cot φ1 = : cot φ 2 = cot θ ⇒ φ 2 = θ
cos θ (1 + tan θ )
ie., cot φ1 = cot (π/4 + θ ) ⇒ φ1 = π/4 + θ

∴ φ1 - φ 2 = π/4 + θ - θ = π/4

The angle of intersection is π / 4

4. Find the angle of the curves: r = a log θ and r = a/ log θ


Solution : r = a log θ : r = a/ log θ

Differentiating these w.r.t q, we get,

r dθ log θ . θ r dθ log θ . θ
1 1
ie., cot φ1 = : cot φ 2 = -
θ log θ θ log θ
Note : We can not find φ1 and φ 2 explicitly.
∴ tan φ1 = θ log θ : tan φ 2 = θ log θ

Now consider, tan φ1 = θ log θ : tan φ 2 = - θ log θ

2 θ log θ 2θ log θ
Now consider, tan (φ1 - φ 2 ) = sy = ......…(1)
1 + tan φ1 tan φ 2 1 − (θ log θ)2

We have to find θ by solving the given pair of equations :

Equating the R.H.S we have a log θ =

log θ
ud

ie., (log θ = 1 )2 = 1 or log θ ⇒ θ = e


Substituting θ = e in (1) we get

tan (φ1 − φ 2 ) =

5. Find the angle of intersection of the curves:

ie., cot φ1 = cot (θ /2 ) : cot φ 2 = cot (π/2 + θ )

⇒ φ1 = θ /2 : φ 2 = π/2 + θ

∴ φ1 − φ 2 = θ/2 - π/2 - θ = π / 2 +θ 2 …(1)

Now consider r = a (1 - cos θ ) = 2a cos θ

Or 3 cos θ = 1 or θ = cos -1 (1/3)


Substituting this value in (1) we get,

6. Find the angle of intersection of the curves :
r = aθ and r = a / θ

θ θ
or tan φ1 = θ : tan φ 2 = - θ

Also by equating the R.H.S of the given equations we have


aθ = a/ θ or θ 2 = 1 ⇒ θ = ± 1
When θ = 1, tan φ1 = 1, tan φ 2 = - 1 and
When θ = - 1, tan φ1 = - 1, tan φ 2 = 1 .
∴ tan φ1 . tan φ 2 = - 1 ⇒ φ1 - φ 2 = π /2

The curves intersect at right angles.

7. Find the pedal equation of the curve: r (1 - cos θ ) = 2a


Solution : r (1 - cos θ ) = 2a

Differentiating w.r.t θ, we get


1 dr sin θ 1 dr - sin θ
+ = 0 or =
r dθ 1 - cos θ r dθ 1 - cos θ
- 2 sin (θ/2 ) cos (θ/2 )
∴ cot φ = = - cot (θ/2 )
2 sin 2 (θ/2 )
ie., ∴ cot φ = cot (- θ /2 ) ⇒ φ = - (θ /2 )
Consider p = r sin φ

.in
∴ p = r sin (- θ /2 ) or p = - r sin (θ /2 )

Now we have, r (1 - cos θ ) = 2a …(1)


sy
p = - r sin (θ /2 ) …(2)
We have to eliminate θ from (1) and (2)
ea
(1) can be put in form r . 2 sin 2 (θ / 2 ) = 2a

ie., r sin 2 (θ/2 ) = a

But p/-r = sin (θ/2), from (2)

Consider p = r sin φ ∴ p = r sin (π /2 - 2θ ) ie., p = r cos 2 θ

Now we have, r 2 = a 2 sec 2θ …(1)


p = r cos 2θ …(2)
From (2) p/r = cos 2θ or r/p = sec 2 θ
Substituting in (1) we get, r 2 = a 2 (r/p ) or pr = a2
Thus pr = a2 is the required pedal equation.

Consider p = r sin φ
ea
∴ p = r sin (π /2 = nθ ) ie., p = r cos nθ

Now we have, r n = a n cos nθ …(1)

p = r cos nθ …(2)

∴ (1) as a consequenc e of (2) is r n = a n (p/r )

r dθ cos mθ + sin mθ
1 dr cos mθ - sin mθ cos mθ (1 - tan mθ )
ie., = =
r dθ cos mθ + sin mθ cos mθ (1 + tan mθ )

Consider p = r sin φ

2
(we have used the formula of sin (A + B) and also the values sin (π/4 ) = cos (π/4 ) = 1/ 2 )
Now we have, r m = a m (cos m θ + sin m θ ) …(1)

p=

Solution: Consider a Circle of radius r. Let A be a fixed point and ‘P’ be a given point on the circle
such that arc AP = S.
st

Let the angle between the tangent to the Circle at A and P be ψ. Then clearly AOP = ψ.

∴ AP = rψ
i.e., S = rψ
This is the intrinsic equation of the circle.
Differentiating w.r.t S we get

DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS – III

PARTIAL DIFFERENTIATION
Introduction :-
Partial differential equations abound in all branches of science and engineering and
many areas of business. The number of applications is endless.
Partial derivatives have many important uses in math and science. We shall see
that a partial derivative is not much more or less than a particular sort of directional
derivative. The only trick is to have a reliable way of specifying directions ... so most of
this note is concerned with formalizing the idea of direction

.in
So far, we had been dealing with functions of a single independent variable. We will now
consider functions which depend on more than one independent variable; Such
sy
functions are called functions of several variables.
ea
Geometrical Meaning
Suppose the graph of z = f (x,y) is the
y

surface shown. Consider the partial


ud

derivative of f with respect to x at a point


(x0, y0). Holding y constant and varying x,
st

we trace out a curve that is the intersection


of the surface with the vertical plane y = y0.
The partial derivative fx(x0,y0). measures
the change in z per unit increase in x along
this curve. That is, fx(x0, y0) is just the slope
of the curve at (x0, y0). The geometrical
interpretation of fy(x0, y0). is analogous.

Real-World Applications:
Rates of Change:
In the Java applet we saw how the concept of partial derivative could be applied
geometrically to find the slope of the surface in the x and y directions. In the following
two examples we present partial derivatives as rates of change. Specifically we explore
an application to a temperature function ( this example does have a geometric aspect in
terms of the physical model itself) and a second application to electrical circuits, where
no geometry is involved.

Suppose we have a flat metal plate where the temperature at a point (x,y) varies
according to position. In particular, let the temperature at a point (x,y) be given by,

T ( x, y ) = 60 /1 + x 2 + y 2
where T is measured in oC and x and y in meters.
Question: what is the rate of change of temperature with respect to distance at the point
(2,1) in (a) the x-direction? and (b) in the y-direction ?
Let's take (a) first.
What is the rate of change of temperature with respect to distance at the point (2,1) in
(a) the x-direction?
What observations and translations can we make here?

.in
Rate of change of temperature indicates that we will be computing a type of derivative.
Since the temperature function is defined on two variables we will be computing a partial
sy
derivative. Since the question asks for the rate of change in the x-direction, we will be
ea
holding y constant. Thus, our question now becomes:
What is dT dxat the point (2,1)?
y

T ( x, y ) = 60 /1 + x 2 + y 2 = 60(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) −1
ud

∂T = −60(2 x)(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) −2
∂x
∂T (2,1) = −60(4)(1 + 4 + 1) −2 = −20
∂x 3
st

Conclusion :
The rate of change of temperature in the x-direction at (2,1) is −20 3 degrees
per meter;
note this means that the temperature is decreasing !

Part (b):
The rate of change of temperature in the y-direction at (2,1) is computed in a similar
manner. T ( x, y ) = 60 /1 + x 2 + y 2 = 60(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) −1
∂T = −60(2 y )(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) −2
∂x
∂T (2,1) = −60(2)(1 + 4 + 1) −2 = −10

Conclusion :
The rate of change of temperature in the y-direction at (2,1) is −10 degrees

per meter;
note this means that the temperature is decreasing !

II. Electrical Circuits: Changes in Current sy
The following is adapted from an example in a former text for SM221,223 Multivariable
ea
Calculus by Bradley and Smith.
* In an electrical circuit with electromotive force (EMF) of E volts and resistance R ohms,
y

the current, I, is
ud

I=E/R amperes.
Question: (a) At the instant when E=120 and R=15 , what is the rate of change of
st

current with respect to voltage.


(b) What is the rate of change of current with respect to resistance?

(a) Even though no geometry is involved in this example, the rate of change questions
can be answered with partial derivatives.
we first note that I is a function of E and R, namely,
I(E,R) = ER-1

Compiled by www.studyeasy.in
Compiled by www.studyeasy.in

The rate of change of current with respect to voltage =


the partial derivative of I with respect to voltage, holding resistance constant is
∂I = R −1
∂E

when E=120 and R=15 , we have ∂ I ∂ E = 15 −1 ≈ 0.0667


verbal conclusion : If the resistance is fixed at 15 ohms, the current is increasing with
respect to voltage at the rate of 0.0667 amperes per volt when the EMF is 120 volts.
Part (b):
What is the rate of change of current with respect to resistance?

.in
Using similar observations to part (a) we conclude:
sy
The partial derivative of I with respect to resistance, holding voltage constant = ∂I ∂E = ER −1
ea
when E=120 and R=15 , we have ∂I ∂E (120,15) = −120(15)−1 ≈ −0.5333
y

Conclusion : If the EMF is fixed at 120 volts, the current is decreasing with respect to
ud

resistance at the rate of 0.5333 amperes per ohm when the resistance is 15 ohms.

Maxima and Minima:-


In mathematics, the maximum and minimum (plural: maxima and minima) of a
function, known collectively as extrema (singular: extremum), are the largest and
smallest value that the function takes at a point within a given neighborhood.

A function f (x, y) is said to have a Maximum value at (a,b) if their exists a


neighborhood point of (a,b) (say (a+h, b+k)) such that f (a, b) > f (a+h, b+k).
Similarly,
Minimum value at (a,b) if there exists a neighborhood point of (a,b) (say (a+h,
b+k)) such that f (a, b) < f (a+h, b+k).

26. Find the maxima and minima of the functions f (x,y) = x3 + y3 – 3axy, a > 0 is constant.

Solution: Given f (x,y) = x3 + y3 – 3axy

fx = 3x2 – 3ay, fy = 3y2 – 3ax

fxx = 6x fyy = 6y.

Put fx = 0, fy = 0 and solve

27. Examine the following functions for extreme values f = x4 + y4 – 2x2 + 4xy – 2y2

Solution:
fx = 4x3 – 4x + 4y

fy = 4y3 – 4x – 4y

fxy = 4, fxx = 12 x2 – 4, fyy = 12y2 – 4

Put fx = 0, fy = 0 and solve

i.e., 4x3 – 4x + 4y = 0 → (1)

4y3 + 4x – 4y = 0 → (2)

.in
Adding (1) & (2), we get

st

i.e., x = 0 & x2 – 2 =0

i.e., x = 0 & x = ± 2

x= 2,- 2

Tracing of Curves:
For the evaluation of Mathematical quantities such as Area, Length,
Volume and Surface area we need the rough graph of the equation in either
Cartesian or parametric or polar form depending on the statement of the
problem. We use the following theoretical steps to draw the rough graph.

A) Cartesian Curves: y = f (x)

a) Symmetry:
i) If the power of y in the equation is even, the curve is symmetric

.in
about x- axis
ii) If the power of x in the equation is even, the curve is symmetric
about y- axis
iii)
sy
If both the powers x and y are even then the curve is symmetric
about both the axis.
ea
iv) If the interchange of x and y leaves the equation unaltered then the
curve is symmetric about the line y = x
v) Replacing x by – x and y by – y leaves the equation unchanged the
y

curve has a symmetry in opposite quadrants.


ud

b) Curve through the origin:


The curve passes through the origin, if the equation does not contain
constant term.
st

c) Find the origin, is on the curve. If it is, find the tangents at 0, by equating
the lowest degree terms to zero.
i) Find the points of intersections with the coordinate axes and the tangents
at these points.

.
For, put x = 0 find y; and put y = 0,


find x. At these points, find
  ∞, then the tangent is parallel to y axis.


 0, then the tangent is parallel to x axis.


If

d) Asymptotes: express the equation of the curve in the form y = f (x). Equate
the denominator to zero. If the denominator contains x, then there is an
asymptote.

Compiled by www.studyeasy.in
Compiled
e) Find the region in which thebycurve
www.studyeasy.in
lies.
f) Find the interval in which the curve is increasing or decreasing.

B) Parametric Form: x=f(t), y=g(t)

In this case we try to convert the parametric form into Cartesian form by
eliminating the parameter (if possible). Otherwise we observe the following
I) Find dy/dt and dx/dt and hence dy/dx.
II) Assign a few values for t and find the corresponding value for x, y ,y’.
III) Mark the corresponding points, observing the slope at these points.

C) Polar curves: r = f(•)

a) Symmetry: 1. If the substitution of - • for • in the equation , leaves the

.in
equation unaltered, the curve symmetrical about the initial line.

2. If the power of r are even, the curve is symmetrical


about the pole.
sy
b) Form the table, the value of r, for both positive and negative values of •
and hence note how r varies with • . Find in particular the value of • which gives
ea
r = 0 and r = ∞ .

c) Find tan ¯ . This will indicate the direction of the tangent.


y
ud

• that are contained between certain limits.


d) Sometimes by the nature of the equation it is possible to ascertain the value of r and
st

e) Transform into Cartesian, if necessary and adopt the method given before.

f) Sketch the figure.

Let the rectangular co-ordinates (x,y,z) of Any point be expressed as
function of (u,v,w),
So that x = x(u,v,w),y = y(u,v,w),z = z(u,v,w) …..(1)
Suppose that (1) can be solved for u,v,w in terms of x,y,z
i,e u = (x,y,z), v = v(x,y,z),w = w(x,y,z) ….(2)
We assume that the functions in (1) and (2) are single valued functions
and have continuous partial derivatives so that the correspondence between
curvilinear co-ordinates
(x,y,z) and (u,v,w) is unique. Then (u,v,w) are called curvilinear

Introduction to Differential Equations:


 In Mathematics, a differential equation is an equation
dy in which the derivative of a function
appear as variables. dx
 Many of the fundamental laws of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and economics can be formulated
as differential equations
 Definition: The derivative of a function y = Φ(x) is itself another function Φ’(x)
found by an appropriate rule.

For example: The function y = e0 . 1x 2 is differentiable on the interval(-∞, ∞),


and its derivative is dy =0.2 x e0.1x2
dx dy = 0 . 2 xy
If we replace e 0 .1x 2 by the symbol y, we obtain
dx

Definition:

Definition ODE:
A differential equation involving derivatives with respect to a single independent variable is
called an ordinary differential equation.
Partial Differential Equations:
A differential equation involving partial derivatives is called a partial differential equation.
Order of a Differential Equation:

Compiled by www.studyeasy.in
Compiled by www.studyeasy.in

The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest order derivative occurring in it.
Degree of a Differential Equation:
The degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest order derivative occurring in it,
when the derivatives are free from radicals and fractions.

Examples 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are of first degree Ex: 5 is of second degree because it can be written as

Family of Curves: Integrating both sides of the derivative =3 gives y = 3 x + c,
dx
Where c is an arbitrary constant y = 3 x + c, represents a family of curves, each of the curves in the
family depending on the value of c. Examples include y = 3 x + 8, y = 3 x + 3, y = 3 x and y = 3x - 8

A particular curve of a family may be determined when a point on the curve is specified. Thus, if
y = 3x + c passes through the point (1, 2) , from which C = -1. The equation of the curve
st

passing through (1,2) is therefore y = 3 x -1

Example: Sketch the family of curves given by the equation dy


= 4 x and determine the
dx
equation of one of these curves which passes through the point (2,3).

Solution: Integrating both sides of d y

which when substituted into an nth order ordinary differential equation reduces the equation to an
identity, is said to be a solution of the equation on the interval

Solution Curve Or Integral Curve: A solution curve is the graph of a differentiable function

Solution of a Differential Equation:


A solution or Integral of a differential equation is a relation between the independent and the
dependent variables which satisfies the given differential equation.

General Solution or Complete Integral:


A solution containing the number of arbitrary constants equal to the order of the equation is called
the general solution or complete integral.

arbitrary constants is called a particular solution.

Traffic control in the future:

The above picture shows the intersections of four one way streets. 400 cars per hour want to enter
intersection P from the north on First Avenue while 300 cars per hour want to head east from
intersection Q on Elm Street. The letters w, x, y, and z represent the number of cars per hour passing
the four points between these four intersections, as shown in picture.

A) Find values for w, x, y and z that would realize this desired traffic flow.

Compiled by www.studyeasy.in
Compiled by www.studyeasy.in

B) If construction on Oak Street limits z to 300 cars per hour, then how many cars per hour would have
to pass w, x, and y.

Solution: The solution to the problem is based on the fact that the number of cars entering an
intersection per hour must equal the number leaving that intersection per hour, if the traffic is to keep
flowing

Since 900 cars ( 400 + 500) enter intersection P, 900 must leave, x + w = 900. Writing a similar equation
for each intersection yields the system of equations.

W + x = 900
W + y = 1000
X + z = 850
y + z = 950

w + x = 900 w = 50 + z

x + z = 850 x = 850 - z

y + z = 950 y = 950 – z

The system is a dependent system does not have a unique solution.(z is non negative integer)

b)If z is limited to 300 because of construction, then the solution is ( 350,550,650,300) To keep traffic
flowing when z = 300, the system must route 350 cars past w, 550 past x and 650 past y.

Definition Matrices and Types of Matrices:

Twenty six female students and twenty-four male students responded to a survey on income in a college
algebra class. Among the female students , 5 classified themselves as low-income, 10 as middle-income,
and 11 as high-income. Among the male students, 9 were low-income, 2 were middle-income, and 13
were high-income. Each student is classified in two ways, according to gender and income. This
information can be written in a matrix:

L M H

Female  5 10 11

Male  



Square matrix: In this matrix we can see the class of makeup according to gender and income. A matrix

.in
provides a convenient way to organize a two way classification of data.

A matrix is a rectangular array of real numbers. The rows of a matrix run horizontally, and the
columns run vertically. sy
A matrix with m rows and n columns has size m x n (read “ m by n”). The number of rows is
ea
always given first. For example, the matrix used to classify the students is a 2 x 3 matrix

When m = n i. e the number of rows is the same as the number of columns the array is called a square
y

matrix. The others are called rectangular matrix.


ud

Row-matrix: In a matrix if there is only one row it is called a row matrix

Column matrix: In a matrix if there is only one column it is called a column matrix
st

Null matrix : In a matrix, if all the elements of matrix are zero, it is called null matrix and is denoted by o

Equal Matrix: Two matrices are said to be equal if

i) They are of the same type i.e they have same number of rows and columns

ii) The elements in the corresponding positions of the two matrices are equal.

Location of an element: To locate any particular element of a matrix the elements are usually denoted
by a letter followed by two suffixes which respectively specify the row and the column in which it
appears. Thus the element occurring in pth row and qth column will be written as apq.

Note: The matrices are generally denoted by capital letters.

Diagonal Elements of a Matrix: An element aij of a square matrix is said to be a diagonal element if i = j.

Scalar Multiple of a matrix: If k is a number and A is a matrix, then kA is defined as the matrix each
element of which is k times the corresponding element of A.

Triangular Matrix: if every element above (or below ) the diagonal is zero, the matrix is called a
triangular matrix

Transposed Matrix: The matrix of order n x m obtained by interchanging the rows and columns of a

.in
matrix A of order m x n is called the transpose matrix of A or transpose of the matrix and is denoted by
A’ or At.

Representation of Points: A point is represented in two dimensions by its coordinates. These two values
are specified as the elements of a 1 x 2 matrix i.e. x 

Elementary Transformations:

An elementary transformation, which is also known as E-transformation, is an operation of any one of


the following types.

i) Interchange of two rows (columns)

ii) The multiplication of the elements of rows (columns) by a non-zero number.

iii) The addition to the elements of a row (column), the corresponding elements of a row ( column)
multiplied by any number

An elementary transformation is said to be row-transformation or column transformation according


as it applies to rows or columns.

Compiled by www.studyeasy.in
Compiled by www.studyeasy.in

Symbols to be used for elementary transformation:

i) Rij for the interchange of ith and jth rows

ii) Ri(k) for the multiplication of ith row by k ≠ 0

iii) Rij(k) for the addition to the ith row, the products of the jth row by k. Similarly we use the symbols
Cij, Ci(k), Cij(k) for the corresponding column operations.

Equivalent Matrices:

Two matrices A and B are said to be equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by a
sequence of elementary transformations. Two equivalent matrices have the same order. The
symbol ~ is used for equivalence.

Minor : Let A be a matrix square or rectangular, from it delete all rows leaving a certain t-rows
and all columns leaving a certain t-column. Now if t > 1 then the elements that are left,

.in
constitute a square matrix of order t and the determinant of this matrix is called a minor of A of
order t

Rank of a Matrix:

Definition: A matrix is said to be rank r when


sy
ea
I ) It has at least one non-zero minor of order r and

ii) Every minor of order higher than r vanishes.


y

Briefly, the rank of a matrix is the largest order of any non-vanishing minor of the matrix

Conditions for Consistency:

.in
 Here the system of equations AX = B is called the non homogeneous set of equations and the
system of equations A X = 0 is called the homogeneous set of equations.

sy
 A system of linear equations is said to be consistent if it possesses a solution and inconsistent (
not consistent) if it does not possess a solution
ea
 A homogeneous system always possesses at least one solution (namely the trivial solution ), a
homogeneous system is always consistent. But a non–homogeneous system may or may not be
consistent.
y

 The equation A X = B is consistent i.e. has a solution (unique or infinite ) iff the matrices A and D
ud

are of the same rank i.e. ρ(A) = ρ(D).

 i) If ρ(A) = ρ(D)= n, the number of unknowns, then only the given system of equations will have a
st

unique solution

 ii) If ρ(A) = ρ(D) < n, then the given system will have infinite solutions.

 iii) If ρ(A) ≠ ρ(D) then the given system of equations will be inconsistent or will not have any
solution.

Example: Test the consistency of the following equations

Basically, there are TWO types of methods available, viz, Direct methods and Indirect methods or
Iterative methods.
Direct Method:
i) Cramer’s rule
ii) Gaussian Elimination
iii) Gauss-Jordan method
iv) Choleskey Method
Indirect Method:
i) Jacobi Method
ii) Gauss seidal method
iii) Successive Over-Relaxation Technique

Linear Transformations: Definition:


A transformation ( or function or mapping):
A transformation T from Rn to Rm is a rule that assigns to each vector x in Rn a vector T(x) in Rm.
The set Rn is called the domain of T, and Rm is called the co-domain of T. The notation T:Rn Rm indicates
that the domain of T in Rn and the co-domain is Rm.
For x in Rn, the vector T(x) in Rm is called the image of x (under the action of T).
The set of all images T(x) is called the range of T.

For example: AX = b and Au = o
