Differential Equations 2 Question 23

24. Let u(x) and v(x) satisfy the differential equations dudx+p(x)u=f(x) and dvdx+p(x)v=g(x), where p(x),f(x) and g(x) are continuous functions. If u(x1)>v(x1) for some x1 and f(x)>g(x) for all x>x1, prove that any point (x,y) where x>x1 does not satisfy the equations y=u(x) and y=v(x).

Answer:

Correct Answer: 24. (0)

Solution:

  1. Let

w(x)=u(x)v(x)

and

h(x)=f(x)g(x)

On differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. x

dwdx=dudxdvdx

=f(x)p(x)u(x)g(x)p(x)v(x) [given]

=f(x)g(x)p(x)[u(x)v(x)]

dwdx=h(x)p(x)w(x)

dwdx+p(x)w(x)=h(x) which is linear differential equation

The integrating factor is given by

IF=ep(x)dx=r(x)

On multiplying both sides of Eq. (ii) of r(x), we get

r(x)dwdx+p(x)(r(x))w(x)=r(x)h(x)ddx[r(x)w(x)]=r(x)h(x)drdx=p(x)r(x)

Now,

r(x)=eP(x)dx>0,x

and

h(x)=f(x)g(x)>0, for x>x1

Thus,

ddx[r(x)w(x)]>0,x>x1

r(x)w(x) increases on the interval [x, [

Therefore, for all x>x1

r(x)w(x)>r(x1)w(x1)>0[r(x1)>0 and u(x1)>v(x1)]w(x)>0x>x1u(x)>v(x)x>x1[r(x)>0]

w(x)>0x>x1u(x)>v(x)x>x1

Hence, there cannot exist a point (x,y) such that x>x1 and y=u(x) and y=v(x).
