Question
Identify the type of the differential equation (as linear, homogeneous,exact, separable or Bernoulli) and find its general solutiont2 dxdt = (2t + x)x.
Solution
The given differential equation is t^2 * (dx/dt) = (2t + x)x.
First, let's rewrite it in the standard form of a differential equation:
(dx/dt) = (2t + x)x / t^2.
This is a first order non-linear differential equation. It's not linear because it contains a product of the dependent variable x and its derivative. It's not homogeneous because it cannot be written in the form dy/dx = f(y/x) or dx/dy = f(x/y). It's not exact because it cannot be written in the form M(x, y)dx + N(x, y)dy = 0 where M and N are functions of two variables that satisfy the exactness condition. It's not separable because it cannot be written in the form h(y)dy = g(x)dx.
However, it can be transformed into a Bernoulli equation. Bernoulli equations are a special type of differential equation of the form dy/dx = P(x)y + Q(x)y^n.
Let's rewrite the given equation in the form of a Bernoulli equation:
(dx/dt) = (2/t)x - x^2.
This is a Bernoulli equation with P(x) = 2/t, Q(x) = -1, and n = 2.
To solve a Bernoulli equation, we usually make a variable substitution. Let's substitute u = 1/x. Then du/dt = -1/x^2 * dx/dt. Substituting this into the differential equation gives:
-du/dt = 2/t * 1/u - 1.
This is a linear first order differential equation in u. We can solve it using an integrating factor. The integrating factor is e^(∫P(x)dx) = e^(∫2/t dt) = t^2. Multiplying the differential equation by the integrating factor gives:
-t^2 * du/dt = 2t - t^2 * u.
This can be written in the form d/dt(t^2 * u) = 2t. Integrating both sides with respect to t gives:
t^2 * u = t^2 + C,
where C is the constant of integration. Substituting u = 1/x gives the general solution of the original differential equation:
t^2/x = t^2 + C,
or equivalently,
x = t^2 / (t^2 + C).
