Let's solve **Question 6** step by step: --- ### (6) Show that \( x\,dx + (x^2y + 4y)\,dy = 0 \) is a non-exact D.E. Solve this by finding an appropriate integrating factor. #### **Step 1: Check if the equation is exact** Given: \[ x\,dx + (x^2y + 4y)\,dy = 0 \] Or, \[ x + (x^2y + 4y)\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \implies x + (x^2y + 4y) y' = 0 \] Or, \[ x\,dx + (x^2y + 4y)\,dy = 0 \] Here, \( M(x, y) = x \), \( N(x, y) = x^2y + 4y \). Check for exactness: \[ \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(x) = 0 \] \[ \frac{\partial N}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(x^2y + 4y) = 2xy \] Since \(\frac{\partial M}{\partial y} \neq \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}\), the equation is **not exact**. **Explanation**: We check exactness by comparing the partial derivatives. Since they are not equal, the equation is not exact. --- #### **Step 2: Find an integrating factor and solve** Let's try an integrating factor of the form \(\mu(y)\) (since \(\frac{\partial N}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial M}{\partial y}\) is a function of \(y\) only): \[ \text{Integrating factor} = \mu(y) = e^{\int P(y)dy} \] Where \[ P(y) = \frac{\frac{\partial N}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial M}{\partial y}}{M(x, y)} = \frac{2xy - 0}{x} = 2y \] So, \[ \mu(y) = e^{\int 2y\,dy} = e^{y^2} \] Multiply through by the integrating factor \(e^{y^2}\): \[ e^{y^2}x\,dx + e^{y^2}(x^2y + 4y)\,dy = 0 \] Now, check for exactness again: Let \(M^* = e^{y^2}x\), \(N^* = e^{y^2}(x^2y + 4y)\) \[ \frac{\partial M^*}{\partial y} = x \cdot \frac{d}{dy}(e^{y^2}) = x \cdot (2y e^{y^2}) = 2xye^{y^2} \] \[ \frac{\partial N^*}{\partial x} = e^{y^2} \cdot (2xy) \] Now both are \(2xye^{y^2}\), so the equation is **exact**. **Explanation**: We found the integrating factor \(e^{y^2}\) that makes the equation exact. --- #### **Final Answer:** - The equation is non-exact. - The integrating factor is \(e^{y^2}\). - After multiplying by the integrating factor, the equation becomes exact and can be solved by the method for exact equations. --- **If you want the full solution after applying the integrating factor, let me know!**

Let's analyze Question 6 step by step: **Given differential equation:** \[ x\,dx + (x^2 y + 4 y)\,dy = 0 \] --- ### Step 1: Check if the differential equation is exact Rewrite in the form: \[ M(x,y) dx + N(x,y) dy = 0 \] where: \[ M(x,y) = x \quad \text{and} \quad N(x,y) = x^2 y + 4 y \] Compute partial derivatives: \[ \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = 0 \] \[ \frac{\partial N}{\partial x} = 2 x y \] Since \(\frac{\partial M}{\partial y} \neq \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}\), the differential equation is **not exact**. **Explanation:** An exact differential equation requires the condition \(\frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}\). Here, they are unequal, indicating the equation is not exact. --- ### Step 2: Find an integrating factor To make the equation exact, we seek an integrating factor \(\mu(x,y)\). Let's try an integrating factor that depends only on \(y\), i.e., \(\mu = \mu(y)\). The condition for such an integrating factor is: \[ \frac{\frac{\partial N}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial M}{\partial y}}{M} = \text{function of } y \] Calculate numerator: \[ \frac{\partial N}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = 2 x y - 0 = 2 x y \] Divide by \(M = x\): \[ \frac{2 x y}{x} = 2 y \] Since this depends only on \(y\), the integrating factor is: \[ \mu(y) = e^{\int 2 y\, dy} = e^{y^2} \] --- ### Final step: Multiply through by the integrating factor and verify exactness Multiplying the entire equation by \(e^{y^2}\): \[ e^{y^2} x\, dx + e^{y^2} (x^2 y + 4 y) dy = 0 \] Define: \[ \tilde{M} = e^{y^2} x,\quad \tilde{N} = e^{y^2} (x^2 y + 4 y) \] Check for exactness: \[ \frac{\partial \tilde{M}}{\partial y} = x \cdot 2 y e^{y^2} = 2 x y e^{y^2} \] \[ \frac{\partial \tilde{N}}{\partial x} = e^{y^2} \cdot (2 x y) = 2 x y e^{y^2} \] Since these are equal, the equation is now **exact**. --- ### **Summary:** - The original differential equation is **not exact**. - An appropriate integrating factor is \(\boxed{e^{y^2}}\). - Multiplying the original equation by this integrating factor makes it exact and solvable using standard methods for exact equations. --- If needed, I can proceed to find the explicit solution after applying the integrating factor.

Let's analyze **Question 7** step by step: --- ### (7) Show that \( y' + 2 y = 0 \) is a homogeneous differential equation and then solve it. #### **Step 1: Recognize the form of the differential equation** Given: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} + 2 y = 0 \] This is a first-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients. **Explanation:** A homogeneous differential equation is one where the function and its derivatives appear in a linear combination equal to zero, and the functions involved are of the same degree or can be rewritten as such. In this case, the equation is linear and homogeneous because it can be written as: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -2 y \] which is linear, with the right side proportional to \( y \). --- ### **Step 2: Show it is homogeneous and solve** Since the differential equation can be written as: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -2 y \] which is separable, we proceed to solve: \[ \frac{dy}{y} = -2 dx \] Integrate both sides: \[ \int \frac{1}{y} dy = \int -2 dx \] \[ \ln |y| = -2 x + C \] Exponentiate: \[ |y| = e^{-2 x + C} = e^{C} e^{-2 x} = C' e^{-2 x} \] where \( C' = e^{C} > 0 \). Hence, the general solution: \[ \boxed{ y = C e^{-2 x} } \] **Explanation:** The solution is an exponential decay, characteristic of first-order linear homogeneous equations with constant coefficients. --- ### **Final answer:** - The differential equation \( y' + 2 y = 0 \) is homogeneous because it can be rewritten as a linear equation with solutions proportional to an exponential function. - The solution is: \[ \boxed{ y = C e^{-2 x} } \] --- If you want, I can explain further or proceed to the next question!
