TopicFirst order differential equations (integrating factor)

  1. (a) Show that the substitution \(y ^ { 2 } = \frac { 1 } { t }\) transforms the differential equation
$$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } + y = x y ^ { 3 }$$ into the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } t } { \mathrm {~d} x } - 2 t = - 2 x$$ (b) Solve differential equation (II) and determine \(y ^ { 2 }\) in terms of \(x\).
