Solve the following differential equation: dy dx -y=xe^ x - Vidyadip

Question

Solve the following differential equation:
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-\text{y}=\text{xe}^{\text{x}}$

✓

Answer

We have,

$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-\text{y}=\text{xe}^{\text{x}}\ \dots(1)$

Clearly, it is a linear differential equation of the form

$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\text{Py}=\text{Q}$

where

$\text{P}=-1$

$\text{Q}=\text{e}^{\text{x}}$

$\therefore$ I.F. $=\text{e}^{\int\text{Pdx}}$

$=\text{e}^{-\int\text{dx}}$

$=\text{e}^{-\text{x}}$

Multiplying both sides of (1) by e^-x, we get

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

$\Rightarrow\ \text{e}^{-\text{x}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-\text{e}^{-\text{x}}\text{y}=\text{x}$

Integrating both sides with respect to x, we get

$\text{e}^{-\text{x}}\text{y}=\int\text{xdx + C}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{e}^{-\text{x}}\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}+\text{C}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}+\text{C}\Big)\text{e}^{\text{x}}$

Hence, $\text{y}=\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}+\text{C}\Big)\text{e}^{\text{x}}$ is the required solution.
