Help me prove differential equation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on proving two specific solutions to differential equations. The first solution, lny = C1ex + C2e-x, is proposed for the differential equation yy'' - (y')2 = y2lny. The second solution, y-3 = x3(3ex + c), is suggested for the equation xy' + y + x4y4ex = 0. Participants emphasize the importance of demonstrating effort in solving these problems independently.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of differential equations and their solutions
  • Familiarity with the notation for derivatives, specifically y' and y''
  • Knowledge of logarithmic functions and their properties
  • Basic skills in manipulating algebraic expressions and constants
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the method of solving second-order differential equations
  • Learn about the existence and uniqueness theorem for differential equations
  • Explore techniques for proving solutions to differential equations
  • Investigate the implications of constant values in differential equations
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those focusing on differential equations, as well as educators seeking to enhance their teaching methods in this area.

please help me find the answer..

1. Prove that lny=C_1e^x+ C_2e^-x is the solution of differential equation
yy''-(y')^2 =y^2lny note:(C_1)meaning C sub 1, a constant value


2. y^-3=x^3(3e^x+c) is the solution of differential equation xy'+y+x^4y^4e^x=0
note: a while ago i forgot to emphasize that the value of y'' is that it is a double prime.
pls.! help me prove it.thanks

Welcome to Physics Forums.

We are more than happy to help you, but you must show some effort in attempting to solve the problems yourself.

HINT: The solution of a differential equation, by definition, satisfies the differential equation.
