DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION
DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

A. DEFINITION

An equation that involves independent and dependent variables and the derivatives of the dependent
variables is called a DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION.
There are two types of differential equation :

(i) Ordinary Differential Equation : A differential equation is said to be ordinary, if the differential
d2 y 2dy
coefficients have reference to a single independent variable only e.g.  + cos x = 0
dx 2 dx

(ii) Partial Differential Equation : A differential equation is said to be partial, if there are two or more

u u u
independent variables, e.g. x  y  z = 0 is a partial differential equation.

We are concerned with ordinary differential equations only.

(a) Solution (primitive) of differential equation : Finding the unknown function which satisfies
given differential equation is called SOLVING OR INTEGRATING the differential equation. The solution
of the differential equation is also called its PRIMITIVE, because the differential equation can be
regarded as a relation derived from it.

(b) Order of differential equation : The order of a differential equation is the order of the
highest differential coefficient occurring in it.

(c) Degree of differential equation : The degree of a differential equation which can be written
as a polynomial in the derivatives is the degree of the derivative of the highest order occurring in
it, after it has been expressed in a form which is free from radicals and fractions so far as
p q
 dm y   dm 1( y ) 
derivatives are concerned, thus the differential equation f (x, y)  m   ( x, y ) m 1  + ....= 0
 dx   dx 

is order m and degree p.

Note that : In the differential equation ey’’ – xy’’ + y = 0 order is three but degree doesn’t apply.

Ex.1 Find the order and degree of the following differential equation :
d2 y dy d2 y  dy  dy
(i) 2
3 3 (ii) = sin   (iii)  3x  5
dx dx dx 2  dx  dx
32
 d2 y   dy 
Sol. (i) The given differential equation can be re-written as  2     3
 dx   dx 
Hence order is 2 and degree is 3.
(ii) The given differential equation has the order 2. Since the given differential equation cannot be
written as a polynomial in the differential coefficients, the degree of the equation is not defined.
(iii) Its order is obviously 1 and degree 1.

 dt 
   dt 

Sol. Clearly order is 2 and degree is 2. (from the definition of order and degree of differential equation).

B. FORMATION OF A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

If an equation with independent and dependent variables having some arbitrary constant is given, then
a differential equation is obtained as follows :
(a)Differentiate the given equation w.r.t. the independent variable (say x) as many times as the
number of arbitrary constants in it.
(b)Eliminate the arbitrary constants.
The eliminant is the required differential equation.
Note : A differential equation represents a family of curves all satisfying some common properties. This
can be considered as the geometrical interpretation of the differential equation.

Ex.3 Find the differential equation of all parabolas whose axes is parallel to the x-axis and having latus
rectum a.
Sol. Equation of parabola whose axes is parallel to x-axis and having latusrectum ‘a’ is (y – )2 = a (x –)

Differentiating both sides, we get 2(y – ) = a  2(y – )  2  =0  a. 2
 2  =0

dx dx dx
  dx  dx 

Ex.4 Find the differential equation whose solution represents the family : c (y + c)2 = x3

Sol. c (y + c)2 = x3 ...(i) Differentiating, we get, c.[2(y + c)] = 3x2
dx
2x 3 dy 2x 3 dy
Writing the value of c from (i), we have 2
(y  c)  3x 2   3x 2

Substituting value of c in equation (i), we get     y   3 dx  = x3,
 3  dx    
Which is the required differential equation.

C. GENERAL AND PARTICULAR SOLUTIONS

The solution of a differential equation which contains a number of independent arbitrary constants
equal to the order of the differential equation is called the GENERAL SOLUTION (OR COMPLETE INTEGRAL
OR COMPLETE PRIMITIVE). A solution obtainable from the general solution by giving particular values to
the constants is called a PARTICULAR SOLUTION.

independent arbitrary constants. The arbitrary constants in the solution of a differential equation are
said to be independent, when it is impossible to deduce from the solution an equivalent relation
containing fewer arbitrary constants. Thus the two arbitrary constants A,B in the equation y = A ex +
B are not independent since the equation can be written as y = AeB . ex = C ex .Similarly the solution

y = A sin x + B cos (x + C) appears to contain three arbitrary constants, but they are really equivalent
to two only.

D. ELEMENTARY TYPES OF FIRST ORDER AND FIRST DEGREE DIFFERENTIAL


EQUATIONS

(1) VARIABLES SEPARABLE :

Type – 1 : If the differential equation can be expressed as ; f(x)dx + g(y)dy = 0 then this is said to
be variable separable type. A general solution of this is given by  f ( x) dx+  g( y) dy=c ;
where c is the arbitrary constant. Consider the example (dy/dx) = ex – y + x2.e-y.

TYPE – 4 : Sometimes transformation to the polar co-ordinates facilitates separation of variables. In


this connection it is convenient to remember the following differentials.
If x = r cos  ; y = r sin  then,
(i) xdx + ydy = rdr (ii) dx2 + dy2 = dr2 + r2d2 (iii) xdy – ydx = r2 d

If x = r sec  and y = r tan  then x dx – y dy = rdr and x dy – ydx = r2 sec  d.

Equations reducible to the homogeneous form :

dy a1x  b1y1  c 1 a1 a 2

2 2 2 1 2
transform this equation to a homogeneous type in the new variables u and v where h and k are
arbitrary constants to be chosen so as to make the given equation homogeneous which can be solved
by the method as given in (b). If

(i) a1b2 – a2b1 = 0, then a substitution u = a1 x + b1 y transforms the differential equation to an


equation with variables separable and

(ii) In an equation of the form : yf(xy)dx + xg(xy)dy = 0 the variables can be separated by the
substitution xy = v.

Important note :
(i) The function f(x, y) is said to be a homogeneous function of degree n if for any real number
t(0), we have f(tx, ty) = tn f(x, y). For e.g. f(x, y) = ax2/3 + hx1/3 . y1/3 + by2/3 is a
homogeneous function of degree 2/3.

(ii) A differential equation of the form = f(x , y) is homogeneous if f(x, y) is a homogeneous
dx
function of degree zero i.e. f(tx, ty) = tº f(x, y) = f(x, y). The function f does not depend on x and
y x
y separately but only on their ratio x or y .

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION Page # 22

(3) LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS :

A differential equation is said to be linear if the dependent variable & its differential coefficients occur
in the first degree only and are not multiplied together. The nth order linear differential equation is of

dn y dn 1y
the form ; a0 (x) + a1(x) +...........+ an (x) . y =  (x), where a0 (x), a1 (x) ... an (x) are
dx n dx n 1
called the coefficients of the differential equation.

Note that : A linear differential equation is always of the first degree but every differential equation of
3
d2 y  dy 
the first degree need not be linear. e.g. the differential equation +   + y2 = 0 is not linear,,
dx 2  dx 
though its degree is 1.

Ex.12 Which of the following equation is linear ?

dy dy dy dy
(A) + xy2 = 1 (B) x2 + y = ex (C) + 3y = xy2 (D) x + y2 = sin x
dx dx dx dx
Sol. Clearly answer is (B)

Ex.13 Which of the following equation is non-linear ?

dy d2 y dy 3
(A) = cos x (B) 2 +y=0 (C) dx + dy = 0 (D) x + = y2
dx dx dx dy
dx
Sol. Clearly answer is (D)

(a) Linear differential equations of first order : The most general form of a linear differential equations

dy
of the first order is + Py = Q, where P & Q are functions of x.
dx

Pdx
To solve such an equation multiply both sides by e  .

Note :

Pdx
(i) The factor e  on multiplying by which the left hand side of the differential equation becomes the
differential coefficient of some function of x & y, is called integrating factor of the differential
equation popularly abbreviated as I.F.
(ii) It is very important to remember that on multiplying by the integrating factor, the left hand side
becomes the derivative of the product of y and the I.F.
(iii) Some times a given differential equation becomes linear if we take y as the independent variable

dy
and x as the dependent variable. e.g. the equation ; (x + y + 1) = y 2 + 3 can be
dx

dx
written as (y 2 + 3) = x + y + 1 which is a linear differential equation.

Since the curve passes through (0, 0)  2C = tan–1 (3/4)

Thus 5 tan(5 x  3 y )  3  4 tan[4 x  (tan1 3 / 4)]

Ex.25 The rate at which a substance cools in moving air is proportional to the difference between the
temperatures of the substance and that of the air. If the temperature of the air is 290 K and the
substance cools from 370 K to 330 K in 10 minutes, when will the temperature be 295K.

Sol. Let T be the temperature of the substance at a time t. Then   (T  290 )    k(T  290 )

(negative sign. because

Integrating the L.H.S. between the limits, T = 330 to T = 370 and the RHS between the limits

Now, integrating (i) between T = 370 and T = 295 and t = 0 and t = t, we get
