y = x^2/4 (logx - 1/4) + C/x^2

Explanation:

x(dy/dx)+2y=(x^2)logx

Set up for integrating factor:

dy/dx +bb(2/x)y=x logx

The integrating factor:

exp( int bb(2/x) dx) = exp( log x^2) = x^2

Multiply each side by integrating factor:

x^2dy/dx +2x y=x^3 logx

So that:

(x^2 \ y)^' =x^3 logx

Integrating the RHS:

int x^3 logx \ dx

= int logx \ d(x^4/4)

By IBP:

= x^4/4 logx - int d( logx) x^4/4

= x^4/4 logx - int x^3/4 dx

= x^4/4 logx - x^4/16 + C

implies x^2 \ y = x^4/4 logx - x^4/16 + C

y = x^2/4 (logx - 1/4) + C/x^2

y=\frac{x^2\ln x}{4}-\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{C}{x^2}

Explanation:

Given that

x\frac{dy}{dx}+2y=x^2\lnx

\frac{dy}{dx}+ frac{2}{x}y=x\lnx

Comparing above equation with the standard form of linear D.E. \frac{dy}{dx}+P(x)y=Q(x), we get

P(x)=2/x, \ Q(x)=x\lnx

Integration factor (I,F.)
I=e^{\int P(x)\ dx}=e^{\int 2/x\ dx}=e^{2\ln x}=e^{\lnx^2}=x^2

hence, the complete solution of linear D.E. is given as follows

y(I.F.)=\int (I.F.) Q(x)\ dx+C

y(x^2)=\int (x^2)x\lnx\ dx+C

x^2y=\int x^3\ln x\ dx+C

x^2y=\ln x\int x^3\ dx-\int( \frac{d}{dx}\ln x\cdot \int x^3\ dx ) dx+C

x^2y=\ln x\cdot \frac{x^4}{4}-\int( \frac{1}{x}\frac{x^4}{4} ) dx+C

x^2y=\frac{x^4\ln x}{4}-1/4\int x^3 dx+C
x^2y=\frac{x^4\ln x}{4}-1/4\frac{x^4}{4}+C
x^2y=\frac{x^4\ln x}{4}-\frac{x^4}{16}+C

y=\frac{x^2\ln x}{4}-\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{C}{x^2}

y = 1/4x^2lnx - 1/16x^2 + C/x^2

Explanation:

First, we are going to divide the entire equation by x to put it into the form dy/dx + color(red)(P(x))y = color(blue)(Q(x)).

dy/dx + color(red)(2/x)y = color(blue)(xlnx)

Now, we need to find the special integrating factor. For a differential equation in this form, the special integrating factor is given by

mu=e^{intcolor(red)(P(x))dx}

mu=e^{int color(red)(2/x) dx}

mu=e^{2lnx}

mu=(e^lnx)^2

color(green)(mu=x^2)

So we may now multiply the original equation by color(green)(mu).

color(green)(x^2)(dy/dx + 2/x y) = color(green)(x^2)(xlnx)

x^2dy/dx + 2xy = x^3lnx

If this technique is new to you, the reason that we've multiplied by the special integrating factor is to form the result of a derivative of a product on the left-hand side.

d/dx(x^2y) = x^3lnx

Now, we are almost done. To find y, we should first integrate both sides. Recall that integrating a derivative results in the original function.

int (d/dx(x^2y))dx = color(orange)(int (x^3lnx) dx)

I've just written an antiderivative for the orange integral below, but I'll show you the work for it at the very end.

x^2y = 1/4x^4lnx - 1/16x^4 + C

And isolating y:

y = 1/4x^2lnx - 1/16x^2 + C/x^2


color(orange)(int (x^3lnx) dx)

Integrate by substitution. Let color(red)(x = e^t), color(red)(lnx = t), color(red)(dx = e^t dt ).

int ((color(red)(e^t))^3color(red)t) color(red)(e^tdt)

= int(t * e^(3t) * e^t)du

= int(te^(4t))dt

Perform integration by parts.

u = t, du = dt
dv=e^(4t)dt, v = 1/4e^(4t)

uv - int vdu

= 1/4te^(4t) - int (1/4e^(4t))dt

= 1/4te^(4t) - 1/16e^(4t) + C

= 1/4t(e^t)^4 - 1/16(e^t)^4 + C

Undo substitution color(red)(x = e^t), color(red)(lnx = t).

= 1/4 * lnx * (x)^4 - 1/16(x)^4 + C

= 1/4x^4lnx - 1/16x^4 + C
