Solve

\begin{align*} {y^{\prime \prime }}^{3}&=0 \end{align*}

Solved as second order missing y ode

Time used: 0.167 (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 )}^{3} = 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 )&=0 \\ \tag{2} p^{\prime }\left (x \right )&=0 \\ \tag{3} p^{\prime }\left (x \right )&=0 \\ \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 {0\, dx} + c_1 \\ p \left (x \right ) &= 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 {0\, dx} + c_2 \\ p \left (x \right ) &= c_2 \end{align*}

Solving Eq. (3)

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 {0\, dx} + c_3 \\ p \left (x \right ) &= c_3 \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 } = 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 {c_1\, dx}\\ y &= c_1 x + c_4 \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 } = 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 {c_2\, dx}\\ y &= c_2 x + c_5 \end{align*}

For solution (3) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is

\begin{align*} y^{\prime } = c_3 \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 {c_3\, dx}\\ y &= c_3 x + c_6 \end{align*}

Will add steps showing solving for IC soon.
