1.01 DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

An equation which involves differential co-efficient is called a differential equation.

For Example

ORDER AND DEGREE OF A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest differential co-efficient present in the
equation. Consider

3. 1       2 
  dx    dx 

The order of the above equation is 2.

The degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest derivative after removing the radical
sign and fraction.

The degree of the equation (1) and (2) is 1. The degree of the equation (3) is 2.

 dy 
Q.1 The order and degree of the differential equation  3   6 x 2    0 are …..and …..
 dx   dx 

Sol. The highest order of the derivative in the given differential equation is 3. So, the order is 3.

The power of the highest order derivative is 4. So the degree is 4.

1.02 LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

A differential equation of the form

dy
 py  Q
dx (1)

is called a linear differential equation, where P and Q are functions of x (but not of y ) or
constants.

In such case, multiply both sides of (1) by e 

Pdx

Integrating both sides, we get

This is the required solution.

Note : e 

is called the integrating factor.

1.03 LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF NTH ORDER

LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

If the degree of the dependent variable and all derivatives is one, such differential equations are
called linear differential equation e.g.

d2y dy d2y  dy 
2
 d 2 x  dx
 5  6 y  x 2
 x  1 ,  2    y2  ex ,  2    x  f (1)
 dx 
2 2
dx dx dx  dt  dt

The order of a differential equation is the highest order of the derivative involved. All the above
differential equations are of second order.

Fourier and Laplace transforms are mathematical tools to solve the differential equations.

1.04 LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF SECOND ORDER WITH CONSTANT COEFFICIENTS
The general form of the linear differential equation of second order is

d2y dy

 P  Qy  R
dx dx

Where P and Q are constants are R is a function of x or constant.

Differential Operator . Symbol D stands for the operation of differential i.e.,

dy d2y
Dy  , D2 y  2
dx dx

stands for the operation of integration twice.
D2
d2y dy
2
 P  Qy  R can be written in the operator form.
dx dx
D2 y  P Dy  Qy  R  ( D2  PD  Q) y  R

LINEAR INDEPENDENCE AND DEPENDENCE

Two solutions y1 ( x) and y2 ( x) are said to be linearly independent if

Ay1 ( x)  By2 ( x)  0

A and B are not equal to zero.

COMPLETE SOLUTION = COMPLEMENTARY FUNCTION + PARTICULAR INTEGRAL

METHOD FOR FINDING THE COMPLEMENTARY FUNCTION

(1) In finding the complementary function, R.H.S. of the given equation is replaced by zero.
(2) Let y  C1emx be the C.F. of

1.07 SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

SIMULTANEOUS DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

If two or more dependent variables are functions of a single independent variable, the equations
involving their derivatives are called simultaneous equations, e.g.,

dx dy
 4y  t ,  2 x  et
dt dt

The method of solving these equations is based on the process of elimination, as we solve
algebraic simultaneous equations.

Q.16 The equations of motions of a particle are given by

dx dx

dt dt
Find the path of the particle and show that it is a circle.

d
Sol. On putting  D in the equations, we have
dt
Dx  wy  0

 wx  Dy  0

On multiplying (1) by w and (2) by D, we get

wDx  w2 y  0

 wDx  D2 y  0

On adding (3) and (4), we obtain

w2 y  D 2 y  0  ( D 2  w2 ) y  0

Now, we have to solve (5) to get the value of y.

A.E. is D2  w2  0  D2  w2  D   iw

y  A cos wt  B sin wt

 Dy   A sin t  B cos wt

On putting the value of Dy in (2), we get

 wx  Aw sin wt  Bwcos wt  0
 wx   Aw sin wt  Bwcos wt
 x   A sin wt  B cos wt
On squaring (6) and (7) and adding, we get

x 2  y 2  A2 (cos2 wt  sin 2 wt )  B 2 (cos2 wt  sin 2 wt )

 x 2  y 2  A2  B 2

This is the equation of circle.

Q.29 A particle of unit mass falls under gravity in a resisting medium whose resistance varies with
velocity. Find the relation between distance and velocity if initially the particle starts from rest.

Sol. Let v be the velocity when the particle has fallen distance s in time t from rest so that the
resistance due to velocity is k v per unit of mass. Hence the force of resistance on the particle of mass
m is mkv against the direction of motion. Also, the force due to gravity, mg is acting vertically
downwards.
