1.10.1 Solved as second order missing y ode

Time used: 0.190 (sec)

This is second order ode with missing dependent variable \(y\). Let

\begin{align*} p(x) &= y^{\prime } \end{align*}

Then

\begin{align*} p'(x) &= y^{\prime \prime } \end{align*}

Hence the ode becomes

\begin{align*} {p^{\prime }\left (x \right )}^{2}-x = 0 \end{align*}

Which is now solve for \(p(x)\) as first order ode. Solving for the derivative gives these ODE’s to solve

\begin{align*} \tag{1} p^{\prime }\left (x \right )&=\sqrt {x} \\ \tag{2} p^{\prime }\left (x \right )&=-\sqrt {x} \\ \end{align*}

Now each of the above is solved separately.

Solving Eq. (1)

Since the ode has the form \(p^{\prime }\left (x \right )=f(x)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(x)\).

\begin{align*} \int {dp} &= \int {\sqrt {x}\, dx}\\ p \left (x \right ) &= \frac {2 x^{{3}/{2}}}{3} + c_1 \end{align*}

Solving Eq. (2)

Since the ode has the form \(p^{\prime }\left (x \right )=f(x)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(x)\).

\begin{align*} \int {dp} &= \int {-\sqrt {x}\, dx}\\ p \left (x \right ) &= -\frac {2 x^{{3}/{2}}}{3} + c_2 \end{align*}

For solution (1) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is

\begin{align*} y^{\prime } = -\frac {2 x^{{3}/{2}}}{3}+c_2 \end{align*}

Since the ode has the form \(y^{\prime }=f(x)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(x)\).

\begin{align*} \int {dy} &= \int {-\frac {2 x^{{3}/{2}}}{3}+c_2\, dx}\\ y &= c_2 x -\frac {4 x^{{5}/{2}}}{15} + c_3 \end{align*}

For solution (2) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is

\begin{align*} y^{\prime } = \frac {2 x^{{3}/{2}}}{3}+c_1 \end{align*}

Since the ode has the form \(y^{\prime }=f(x)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(x)\).

\begin{align*} \int {dy} &= \int {\frac {2 x^{{3}/{2}}}{3}+c_1\, dx}\\ y &= c_1 x +\frac {4 x^{{5}/{2}}}{15} + c_4 \end{align*}

Will add steps showing solving for IC soon.
