hi can anyone help me with this qns ? Thank u !!
y = zx
Differentiate both sides with respect to x,
dy/dx = (dz/dx)x + z(1) = x dz/dx + z
Sub this and y = zx into the original equation,
2x (x dz/dx + z) = 2(zx) - (zx)²
2x² dz/dx + 2xz = 2zx - z²x²
2x² dz/dx = -z²x²
2 dz/dx = -z²
-2/z² dz/dx = 1
Integrate both sides with respect to x,
∫ (-2/z² dz/dx) dx = ∫ 1 dx
∫ -2/z² dz = ∫ 1 dx
2/z = x + c
z = 2/(x + c)
Sub z = y/x, (because y = xz → z = y/x)
y/x = 2/(x + c)
y = 2x/(x + c)
(Solved)
z = 1/y → y = 1/z
Differentiate both sides with respect to x,
(1) dy/dx = (-1/z²) dz/dx
dy/dx = -1/z² dz/dx
Sub this and y = 1/z into the original equation,
-1/z² dz/dx + 1/z = (1/z)²
1/z² dz/dx = 1/z - 1/z²
Multiply both sides by z²,
dz/dx = z - 1
1/(z - 1) dz/dx = 1
Integrate both sides with respect to x,
∫ (1/(z - 1) dz/dx) dx = ∫ 1 dx
∫ 1/(z - 1) dz = ∫ 1 dx
ln|z - 1| = x + c
|z - 1| = eˣ+ᶜ
|1/y - 1| = eˣ+ᶜ
Sub x = 0, y = ½,
|1/½ - 1| = eᶜ
ln|1| = eᶜ
eᶜ = 0
So,
|1/y - 1| = eˣ
1/y - 1 = eˣ or 1/y - 1 = -eˣ
1/y = eˣ + 1 or 1/y = 1 - eˣ (rejected as when x = 0, 1 - eˣ = 1 - 1 = 0. But when y = ½, 1/y = 2. This results in a contradiction)
y = 1/(eˣ + 1)
(Solved)
y = u - 2x →u = 2x + y
Differentiate both sides with respect to x,
du/dx = 2 + (1) dy/dx
du/dx = 2 + dy/dx
dy/dx = du/dx - 2
Sub this and u = 2x + y into the original equation,
du/dx - 2 = -(4u + 1)/(2u + 1)
(2u + 1) du/dx - 2(2u + 1) = -(4u + 1)
(2u + 1) du/dx - 4u - 2 = -4u - 1
(2u + 1) du/dx = 1
Integrate both sides with respect to x,
∫ (2u + 1) du/dx = ∫ 1 dx
∫ (2u + 1) du = ∫ 1 dx
u² + u = x + c, c is a constant
Sub u = 2x + y,
(2x + y)² + 2x + y = x + c
(2x + y)² + x + y = c
The answer uses A as the letter for the constant but you can use other letters too like b,c,d,and their upper case forms.
Try not to use the following to avoid confusion or uncertainty :
x,y : They will be confused with the terms in the question itself.
w,z : usually reserved for complex numbers
u : used in substitutions, recurrence relations
i : imaginary unit
e : mathematical constant
f,g,h : used to denote functions
j : used in vectors (both 3D and 2D)
k : vectors as well as constants for trigo and complex numbers(roots of unity part)
but k is still acceptable
l : used for lines in vectors, shortform for litres
m : metres, milli-
o : origin, centre of circle, often confused with 0 as well.
r : radius of circle , summation , APGP
s : second
t : time, differentiation with respect to time,
v : velocity
