- Given equation
We are given, for x∈R, x=0,
x∫1xy(t)dt=(x+1)∫1xty(t)dt.
Let
I(x)=∫1xy(t)dt,J(x)=∫1xty(t)dt.
Then the relation becomes
xI(x)=(x+1)J(x).
We need to find y(x).
- Differentiate the given relation
Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus,
I′(x)=y(x),J′(x)=xy(x).
Differentiate
xI(x)=(x+1)J(x):
I(x)+xI′(x)=J(x)+(x+1)J′(x).
Substitute I′(x)=y(x) and J′(x)=xy(x):
I(x)+xy(x)=J(x)+(x+1)xy(x).
So,
I(x)−J(x)=x2y(x).
- Use the original equation to eliminate J(x)
From
xI(x)=(x+1)J(x),
we get
J(x)=x+1xI(x).
Hence,
I(x)−J(x)=I(x)−x+1xI(x)=x+11I(x).
But from Step 2,
I(x)−J(x)=x2y(x).
Therefore,
x+11I(x)=x2y(x),
or
I(x)=x2(x+1)y(x).
Since I(x)=∫1xy(t)dt, differentiate again:
I′(x)=y(x)=dxd(x2(x+1)y(x)).
Now,
x2(x+1)=x3+x2,
so
dxd((x3+x2)y)=(3x2+2x)y+(x3+x2)y′.
Thus,
y=(3x2+2x)y+(x3+x2)y′.
Rearrange:
(x3+x2)y′+(3x2+2x−1)y=0.
That is,
x2(x+1)y′+(3x2+2x−1)y=0.
- Convert to first-order separable form
yy′=−x2(x+1)3x2+2x−1.
Now simplify the fraction by partial fractions:
x2(x+1)3x2+2x−1=xA+x2B+x+1C.
So,
3x2+2x−1=Ax(x+1)+B(x+1)+Cx2.
Expand:
=Ax2+Ax+Bx+B+Cx2=(A+C)x2+(A+B)x+B.
Compare coefficients:
A+C=3,A+B=2,B=−1.
From B=−1, we get A=3, and then C=0.
Hence,
x2(x+1)3x2+2x−1=x3−x21.
Therefore,
yy′=−(x3−x21)=−x3+x21.
Integrate:
∫yy′dx=∫(−x3+x21)dx.
So,
ln∣y∣=−3ln∣x∣−x1+ln∣C∣.
Therefore,
y=Cx−3e−1/x=x3Ce−1/x.
