Math solution on Bernoulli:

Consider the differential equation y = p(x) + q(x)y + r(x)y^2. In general, this is a difficult equation to solve, but if you know a particular solution y1(x), then the general solution has the form y(x) = y1(x) + z(x), where z(x) is the solution of the Bernoulli, z(x) (q + 2ry1)z = rz^2. Prove this, and find the general solution of the equation y = y/x + x^3y^2 x^5, which has y1(x) = x, as a particular solution. Solution The given equation is y = p(x) + q(x)y + r(x)y^2----1 y= is a particular solution of this equation thus = p(x) + q(x) + r(x) ^2----2 Now y(x) = is a generic solution of 1 Thus ( ) =p(x)+q(x)( +x)+r( )^2 Thus p(x)+q(x) =p(x)+q(x) +r(x) +r(x) +2r(x) From 2 Thus p(x) + q(x) + r(x) ^2+z = p(x) + q(x) + q(x)z+ r(x) +r(x) +2r(x) z(x)-(q+2r )z=r(x) This is the proof of the first part of the problem The given equation is y=y/x+ --------3 Comparing this with the standard eqution we get P(x)=- .g(x) =1/x r(x)= also thus z(x) satisfies the equation z(x)-( )z = z(x)-( Let z=1/T Z=-1/ -1/ -( )z =
