Given differential equation
We have
dxdy+x2−1xy=1−x2x6+4x,−1<x<1
with initial condition
f(0)=0.
We must find
6∫−1/21/2f(x)dx=2π−α
and then compute α2.
Put the equation in linear form
This is a linear differential equation:
dxdy+P(x)y=Q(x)
where
P(x)=x2−1x,Q(x)=1−x2x6+4x.
The integrating factor is
I.F.=e∫P(x)dx=e∫x2−1xdx.
Let u=x2−1, then du=2xdx, so
∫x2−1xdx=21∫udu=21ln∣x2−1∣.
Since −1<x<1, we have x2−1<0, so ∣x2−1∣=1−x2. Thus
I.F.=e21ln(1−x2)=1−x2.
Multiply the equation by the integrating factor
Multiplying throughout by 1−x2,
1−x2dxdy+x2−1x1−x2y=x6+4x.
Now observe that
dxd(y1−x2)=1−x2dxdy+ydxd(1−x2).
Also,
dxd(1−x2)=1−x2−x.
So
dxd(y1−x2)=1−x2dxdy−1−x2xy.
But since
x2−1x1−x2=−1−x2x,
we indeed get
dxd(y1−x2)=x6+4x.
Integrating,
y1−x2=∫(x6+4x)dx=7x7+2x2+C.
Hence
y=f(x)=1−x27x7+2x2+C.
Use the initial condition
Given f(0)=0,
0=10+0+C⟹C=0.
Thus
f(x)=1−x27x7+2x2.
Set up the integral
We need
I=∫−1/21/2f(x)dx=∫−1/21/21−x27x7+2x2dx.
Now,
1−x2x7 is an odd function,
1−x22x2 is an even function.
Therefore the odd part integrates to 0 over [−1/2,1/2], so
