解答
(a)
Given the transformation y=z1=z−1, we differentiate with respect to x:
dxdy=−z−2dxdz=−z21dxdz
Substitute y and dxdy into differential equation (I):
x2(−z21dxdz)+x(z1)=−z2x2dxdz+zx=2(z1)2z22
Multiply the entire equation by −x2z2:
dxdz−xz=−x22
This matches differential equation (II).
(b)
Differential equation (II) is a first-order linear ODE. The integrating factor (IF) is:
IF===e∫−x1dxe−lnxx1
Multiply equation (II) by the integrating factor:
x1dxdz−x21z=dxd(xz)=−x32−x32
Integrate both sides with respect to x:
xz=xz=xz=∫−2x−3dxx−2+cx21+c
Multiply by x to find z:
z=x1+cx
(c)
Reverse the substitution y=z1, so z=y1:
y1=x1+cx
Use the condition y=−83 when x=3:
−38=−39=−3=c=31+3c3c3c−1
Substitute c=−1 back into the equation:
y1=y1=y=x1−xx1−x21−x2x
