DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

First Order Differential Equations of Homogeneous Nature


dy æyö
• The differential equation of the form = f(x, y) = g ç ÷ is said to be homogeneous
dx èxø
differential equation. These equations are solved by putting y = vx, where v º v (x) is a
dy dv
function of x, so that =v+x and the differential equation becomes
dx dx
dv y
ò g(v) - v = log x + logc = logcx . After integrating, we replace v by x and obtain the
general solution.
Equations Reducible to the Homogenous Form
dy ax + by + c
• Equations of the form = (aB ¹ Ab) can be reduced to a homogenous
dx Ax + By + C
form by changing the variables x, y to X, Y by writing x = X + h, y = Y + k; where h, k are
constants to be chosen so as to make the given equation homogenous. We have
dt bt + Bc (A + b)t + AC + Bc
=A+ = .After integrating, we replace t by Ax + By and
dx t+C t+C
obtain the general solution.
First Order Linear Differential Equation

• The differential equation of the form + Py = Q, where P, Q are functions of x alone,
dx
is called a linear differential equation.
P dx
Multiplying by e ò on both sides, we get
y.e ò Pdx = f(x ) + c , where f¢(x) = Q × e ò
Pdx - Pdx
or y = e ò (

) - Pdx
dx + c × e ò
which is the required solution of the given differential equation.
The factor e ò

is called the integrating factor.
