For any real numbers α and β, let yα,βx,xR, be the solution of the differential equation

dydx+αy=xeβx,y1=1

Let S=yα,βx :α,βR. Then which of the following functions belong(s) to the set S?

  1. fx=x22e-x+e-12e-x
  2. fx=-x22e-x+e+12e-x
  3. fx=ex2x-12+e-e24e-x
  4. fx=ex212-x+e+e24e-x

Solution

\(\frac{d y}{d x}+a y=x e^{\beta x}\) Integrating factor (I.F.) \(=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{adx}}=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{ax}}\) So, the solution is \(y \cdot e^{a x}=\int x e^{\beta x} \cdot e^{a x} d x\) \(\Rightarrow y e^{a x}=\int x e^{(\alpha+\beta) x} d x\) If \(\alpha+\beta \neq 0\) \(\Rightarrow y e^{a x}=x \frac{e^{(\alpha+\beta) x}}{(\alpha+\beta)}-\frac{e^{(\alpha+\beta) x}}{(\alpha+\beta)^2}+C\) \(\Rightarrow y=\frac{x e^{\beta x}}{(\alpha+\beta)}-\frac{e^{\beta x}}{(\alpha+\beta)^2}+C e^{-a x}\) \(\Rightarrow y=\frac{e^{\beta x}}{(\alpha+\beta)}\left(x-\frac{1}{a+\beta}\right)+C e^{-\alpha x}\) Put \(\alpha=\beta=1\) in (1) \(y=\frac{e^x}{2}\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)+C e^{-x}\) \(y(1)=1\) \(1=\frac{e}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}+\frac{C}{e} \Rightarrow c=e-\frac{e^2}{4}\) So, \(y=\frac{e^x}{2}\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)+\left(e-\frac{e^2}{4}\right) e^{-x}\) If \(\alpha+\beta=0 \& \alpha=1\) \(\begin{aligned} &\frac{d y}{d x}+y=x e^{-x} \\ &\text { I.F. }=e^x \end{aligned}\) Solution is \(y e^x=\int x d x\) \(\Rightarrow y e^x=\frac{x^2}{2}+C\) \(y=\frac{x^2}{2} e^{-x}+C e^{-x}\) \(y(1)=1\) \(1=\frac{1}{2 e}+\frac{C}{e} \Rightarrow C=e-\frac{1}{2}\) \(y=\frac{x^2}{2} e^{-x}+\left(e-\frac{1}{2}\right) e^{-x}\)
