3 Section : Theory 3. Theory A Bernoulli differential equation can be written in the following standard form: + P (x)y = Q(x)yn, where n (the equation is thus nonlinear). To find the solution, change the dependent variable from y to z, where z = y n. This gives a differential equation in x and z that is linear, and can be solved using the integrating factor method. Note: Dividing the above standard form by y n gives: ( where we have used y n + P (x)y n = Q(x) + P (x)z = Q(x) ( n) = ( n)y n ).

4 Section 2: Exercises 4 2. Exercises Click on Exercise links for full worked solutions (there are 9 exercises in total) Exercise. The general form of a Bernoulli equation is + P (x)y = Q(x) yn, where P and Q are functions of x, and n is a constant. Show that the transformation to a new dependent variable z = y n reduces the equation to one that is linear in z (and hence solvable using the integrating factor method).

9 Section 4: Integrating factor method 9 4. Integrating factor method Consider an ordinary differential equation (o.d.e.) that we wish to solve to find out how the variable z depends on the variable x. If the equation is first order then the highest derivative involved is a first derivative. If it is also a linear equation then this means that each term can involve z either as the derivative OR through a single factor of z. Any such linear first order o.d.e. can be re-arranged to give the following standard form: + P (x)z = Q (x) where P (x) and Q (x) are functions of x, and in some cases may be constants.

10 Section 4: Integrating factor method 0 A linear first order o.d.e. can be solved using the integrating factor method. After writing the equation in standard form, P (x) can be identified. One then multiplies the equation by the following integrating factor : IF= e P (x) This factor is defined so that the equation becomes equivalent to: d (IF z) = IF Q (x), whereby integrating both sides with respect to x, gives: IF z = IF Q (x) Finally, division by the integrating factor (IF) gives z explicitly in terms of x, gives the solution to the equation.
