Question
Show that $\text{y}=\frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}}+\text{b}$ is a solution of the differential equation $\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{2}{\text{x}}\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)=0$

Answer

We have,

$\text{y}=\frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}}+\text{b}\ ...(1)$

Differentiating both sides of equation (1) with respect to 3, we get

$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}^2}\ ...(2)$

Differentiating both sides of equation (2) with respect to 3, we get

$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=2\frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}^3}$

$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-\frac{2}{\text{x}}\Big(-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}^2}\Big)$

$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-\frac{2}{\text{x}}\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}+\frac{2}{\text{x}}\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)=0$

Hence, the given function is the solution to the given differential equation.
