Homogeneous Differential Equations and Solutions

The video tutorial explains how to solve homogeneous differential equations using substitution. It begins by defining homogeneous equations and introduces the substitution method, where V equals Y divided by X. The tutorial then walks through an example problem, demonstrating how to transform it into a separable differential equation. The solution involves integrating both sides and applying initial conditions to find the particular solution. The tutorial concludes with a complete solution for the given initial value problem.

What is the form of a homogeneous differential equation that can be solved using substitution?

• y' = F(x, y)

• y' = F(y/x)

• y' = F(x/y)

• y' = F(x^2, y^2)

In the substitution method for homogeneous equations, what does V represent?

• V = x/y

• V = x^2/y^2

• V = y^2/x^2

• V = y/x

Which rule is applied to differentiate V times x with respect to x?

• Product Rule

• Chain Rule

• Quotient Rule

• Power Rule

What is the first step in solving the example problem x^2y' = y^2 + xy?

• Integrate both sides

• Verify it is a homogeneous equation

• Apply the product rule

• Find the particular solution

After substitution, what form does the equation take to become separable?

• V' = xV

• xV' = V^2

• V' = V/x

• xV' = x^2

What is the integral of 1/x with respect to x?

• e^x + C

• ln|x| + C

• 1/x + C

• x^2/2

What is the general solution for V after integration?

• V = ln|x| + C

• V = -1/(ln|x| + C)

• V = x^2 + C

• V = 1/(ln|x| + C)

How do you convert the solution back to terms of x and y?

• Divide both sides by y

• Multiply both sides by y
