1. Solve: dy/dx = y/x + x * sin(y/x)
Solution:
We use the substitution ( v = y/x ), so ( y = v * x ).
Using the product rule:
dy/dx = v + x * dv/dx
Substitute into the original equation:
v + x * dv/dx = v + x * sin(v)
Simplify:
x * dv/dx = x * sin(v)
Divide both sides by ( x ):
dv/dx = sin(v)
This is a separable differential equation. Separate the variables:
dv / sin(v) = dx
Integrate both sides:
∫ (1 / sin(v)) dv = ∫ 1 dx
We know the integral:
∫ (1 / sin(v)) dv = ln |tan(v / 2)| + C
Thus:
ln |tan(v / 2)| = x + C
Now, substitute back ( v = y / x ):
ln |tan(y / (2 * x))| = x + C
This is the implicit solution to the differential equation.
2. Solve: x^2 * dy + y * (x + y) * dx = 0
Solution:
We rewrite the equation as:
x^2 * dy = -y * (x + y) * dx
Divide both sides by ( x^2 * y ):
(1 / y) * dy = -(1 / x + y / x^2) * dx
Simplify:
(1 / y) * dy = -1 / x * dx - y / x^2 * dx
This equation is non-linear and may require substitution for further simplification.
