Q.3 (C) (ii) Solve the following differential equation, hence find the particular solution when \(x=0,\ y=1\)
\(y^3-\frac{dy}{dx}=x\frac{dy}{dx}\)

Solution:
\(y^3=x\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{dy}{dx}\)
\(\therefore y^3=(x+1)\)[ ]
\(\therefore (x+1)\,dy=y^3dx\)
Separating the variables, we get
\(\frac{1}{y^3}dy=\frac{1}{x+1}dx\)
Now, integrating, we get
\(\therefore\int\frac{1}{y^3}dy=\int\frac{1}{x+1}dx\)
\(\therefore -\frac{1}{2y^2}=\)[ ]\(+c\) ....(I)
which is required general solution
put \(x=0\) and \(y=1\) in (I)
\(-\frac{1}{2(1)^2}=\log|0+1|+c\)
\(\therefore\)[ ]\(=c\)
\(\therefore -\frac{1}{2y^2}=\)[ ]\(-\frac{1}{2}\)
is the particular solution.

Answer: Boxes: \(\frac{dy}{dx}\); \(\log|x+1|\); \(-\frac{1}{2}\); \(\log|x+1|\)

\(y^3=(x+1)\boxed{\frac{dy}{dx}}\).

\(\int y^{-3}dy=\frac{y^{-2}}{-2}=-\frac{1}{2y^2}\) and \(\int\frac{1}{x+1}dx=\log|x+1|\), so \(-\frac{1}{2y^2}=\boxed{\log|x+1|}+c\) ... (I)

At \(x=0,\ y=1\): \(-\frac{1}{2}=\log 1+c=0+c\), so \(\boxed{-\frac{1}{2}}=c\).

Particular solution: \(-\frac{1}{2y^2}=\boxed{\log|x+1|}-\frac{1}{2}\).
