3.4.1 Solving as linear ode

Entering Linear first order ODE solver. In canonical form a linear first order is \begin {align*} y^{\prime } + p(x)y &= q(x) \end {align*}

Where here \begin {align*} p(x) &=\frac {1}{2 x}\\ q(x) &=x^{\frac {3}{2}} \end {align*}

Hence the ode is \begin {align*} y^{\prime }+\frac {y}{2 x} = x^{\frac {3}{2}} \end {align*}

The integrating factor \(\mu \) is \begin{align*} \mu &= {\mathrm e}^{\int \frac {1}{2 x}d x} \\ &= \sqrt {x} \\ \end{align*} The ode becomes \begin {align*} \frac {\mathop {\mathrm {d}}}{ \mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}\left ( \mu y\right ) &= \left (\mu \right ) \left (x^{\frac {3}{2}}\right ) \\ \frac {\mathop {\mathrm {d}}}{ \mathop {\mathrm {d}x}} \left (\sqrt {x}\, y\right ) &= \left (\sqrt {x}\right ) \left (x^{\frac {3}{2}}\right )\\ \mathrm {d} \left (\sqrt {x}\, y\right ) &= x^{2}\, \mathrm {d} x \end {align*}

Integrating gives \begin {align*} \sqrt {x}\, y &= \int {x^{2}\,\mathrm {d} x}\\ \sqrt {x}\, y &= \frac {x^{3}}{3} + c_{1} \end {align*}

Dividing both sides by the integrating factor \(\mu =\sqrt {x}\) results in \begin {align*} y &= \frac {x^{\frac {5}{2}}}{3}+\frac {c_{1}}{\sqrt {x}} \end {align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= \frac {x^{\frac {5}{2}}}{3}+\frac {c_{1}}{\sqrt {x}} \\ \end{align*}
