Let g be a differentiable function such that ∫₀xg(t)dt=x-∫₀xtg(t)dt [cite: 568], x≥0 [cite: 569] and let y=y(x) satisfy the differential equation (dy)/(dx) - y x = 2(x+1) x g(x) [cite: 571, 575, 578, 581], xin[0,(π)/(2))[cite: 581]. If y(0)=0 [cite: 579] then y((π)/(3)) is equal to[cite: 582]:

Solution & Explanation

Related Formula

Leibniz Integral Rule for differentiation:

ddx(∫₀^x f(t)dt) = f(x)
Core Logic

Differentiate the given integral relation using Leibniz rule [cite: 1344]: ddx[∫₀xg(t)dt] = ddx[x-∫₀xtg(t)dt] [cite: 1344] g(x) = 1 - xg(x) g(x)(1+x) = 1 g(x) = (1)/(1+x) [cite: 1345]

Substitute g(x) into target differential equation configuration [cite: 1346]: dydx - y x = 2(x+1) x · ((1)/(1+x)) = 2 x [cite: 1346]

Step 1: Finding the Integrating Factor

This matches a linear form dydx + P(x)y = Q(x) where P(x) = - x. I.F. = e∫ - x dx = eln| x| = x [cite: 1346]

Write general functional solution template [cite: 1348]: y · x = ∫ (2 x · x) dx = ∫ 2 dx = 2x + C [cite: 1348]

Given boundary condition y(0) = 0 0 = 0 + C C = 0 [cite: 1349]. y(x) = (2x)/( x) = 2x x [cite: 1350]

Step 2: Numeric substitution

Substitute variable parameter values x = (π)/(3) [cite: 1352]: y((π)/(3)) = 2((π)/(3)) ((π)/(3)) = (2π)/(3) · 2 = (4π)/(3) [cite: 1351]

Pattern Recognition

Integral functional definitions are codes for simpler underlying derivatives. Applying Leibniz rule immediately extracts the true variable functions.

Let y = y(x) be the solution of the differential equation (dy)/(dx) = (( x) + y)/( x( x - x x)), x in (0, (π)/(2)) satisfying the condition y((π)/(4)) = 2. Then, y((π)/(3)) is
  • A. √(3)(2 + ₑ√(3))
  • B. √(3)2(2 + ₑ 3)
  • C. √(3)(1 + 2 ₑ 3)
  • D. √(3)(2 + ₑ 3)

Solution

Core Logic
(dy)/(dx) = (( x)/( x) + y)/( x ((1)/( x) - ( ² x)/( x))) = ( x + y x)/( x (1 - ² x)) (dy)/(dx) = ( x + y x)/( x ² x) = ² x + (2y)/( 2x) (dy)/(dx) - 2 (2x)y = ² x
Step 1: Integrating Factor

This is an LDE of form (dy)/(dx) + Py = Q.

I.F. = e∫ -2 (2x) dx

Let 2x = t 2dx = dt.

I.F. = e-∫ t dt = e-ln| (t/2)| = e-ln| x| = (1)/(| x|)
Step 2: Solution of LDE
y(I.F.) = ∫ Q(I.F.) dx + C y(1)/( x) = ∫ ² x (1)/( x) dx + C

Let x = t ² x dx = dt.

y(1)/( x) = ∫ (dt)/(t) + C = ln| x| + C y = x(ln| x| + C)
Step 3: Boundary Value

Given y(π/4) = 2:

2 = 1(ln 1 + C) C = 2

Thus, y = x (ln| x| + 2). At x = π/3:

y(π/3) = √(3)(ln√(3) + 2)
