Is, sin(y) + xy - x^3=2, an implicit soln to the 2nd order ODE y''= {6xy' + (y')^3 * sin(y) - 2(y')^2}/ (3x^2 - y)?
The discussion focuses on determining whether the implicit solution sin(y) + xy - x^3 = 2 satisfies the second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) y'' = {6xy' + (y')^3 * sin(y) - 2(y')^2} / (3x^2 - y). Participants confirm that differentiating the implicit solution leads to the equation cos(y)y' + y + xy' - 3x^2 = 0, which can be further differentiated to yield -sin(y)(y')^2 + cos(y)y'' + 2y' + xy'' - 6x = 0. This confirms the relationship between the implicit solution and the ODE.
