d(uv) = u dv + v duCore Logic
The differential equation can be grouped using the exact differential logic.
x⁴ dy + (4x³ y + 2 x)dx = 0 (x⁴ dy + 4x³ y dx) = -2 x dxNotice that x⁴ dy + 4x³ y dx = d(x⁴ y). So, ∫ d(x⁴ y) = ∫ -2 x dx.
Step 1: Integrate both sides
Integrating gives:
x⁴ y = 2 x + CSince y(x) = f(x), we have x⁴ f(x) = 2 x + C.
Step 2: Find Integration Constant
Use the condition f((π)/(2)) = 0:
((π)/(2))⁴ (0) = 2 ((π)/(2)) + C ⇒ C = 0So, the solution is: x⁴ y = 2 x
Step 3: Final Calculation
Substitute x = (π)/(3):
((π)/(3))⁴ y((π)/(3)) = 2 ((π)/(3)) (π⁴)/(81) y((π)/(3)) = 2((1)/(2)) = 1 π⁴ y((π)/(3)) = 81Pattern Recognition
Whenever you see polynomial terms mixed with xⁿ dy + n xⁿ⁻¹ y dx, always condense it into the exact differential d(xⁿ y) rather than using the standard integrating factor method.
