Solution of $2$ differential equations with $2$ dependent variables.

64 Views Asked by At

The question simply asks to find the solution of differential equations $\frac{dy}{dx} = 2y+z$ and $\frac{dz}{dx}=3y$ that satisfy the relation:

a) $(y + z)e^{3x} = k$

b) $(3y + z)e^{-3x} = k$

c) $(3y + z)e^{3x} = k$

d) $(y - z)e^{3x} = k$


I began by integrating the second differential equation $w.r.t.x$ and got

$$ z = 3xy$$

and substituted this into the first equation and integrated again $\text{w.r.t. } x$ $$y = 2yx + \frac{3yx^{2}}{z}$$

I do not know how to proceed from here.

NB: This isn't a homework question. Practicing for an examination

We have

$$y''-2y'-3y=0\implies y=Ae^{-x}+Be^{3x}$$

$$\frac{dz}{dx}=3y=3Ae^{-x}+3Be^{3x}\implies z=-3Ae^{-x}+Be^{3x}+C$$

Then

$$3y+z=4Be^{3x}+C\implies(3y+z)e^{-3x}=k$$

where $k=4B+Ce^{-3x}$
