Linear second order Differential equation

Linear second order Differential equation When we calculate rate of any function with respect to any variable, then this procedure is called as a differentiation. For example y = f(x), then if we differentiate y with respect to x, it produces dy/dx, which is called as a derivative of y with respect to x, and it produces rate of f(x) with respect to x. An equation which contains dy/dx is called as a first order derivative equation because here we first time differentiate y with respect to x and when we differentiate dy/dx it produces second order derivative (d2y/dx2). So, when we differentiate any function with respect to particular variable, it produces second order derivative and a linear equation which contains second order derivative is called as a second order linear differential equation.

Now we discuss some second order linear differential equation example Like if y = x + tan x, then second order linear differential equation is cos2 x (d2y/dx2) 2y + 2x = 0. For proving this kind of second order linear differential equation, we use following steps Step 1: First of all we assume function as a variable like y = f(x). Step 2: After assuming the variable, we differentiate that variable with respect to any particular variable like we differentiate y with respect to x, it produces dy/dx. Step 3: According to the equation we again differentiate variable with respect to that particular variable like if we differentiate dy/dx with respect to x again, it produces (d2y/dx2). Step 4: After all differentiate process; we put the values of dy/dx and d2y/dx2 in that equation, which we want to prove. For understand these steps we take some examples - Example 1: If y = sin-1 x, then prove (d2y/dx2) = x/(1 x2)3/2

Solution: Step 1: In above question, given that y = sin -1 x Step 2: On differentiation of y with respect to x, we get dy/dx = 1/(1 x2) ..equation(1) Step 3: On differentiation again with respect to x, we get : d2y/dx2 = d/dx(1/(1 x2)) = d/dx[(1 x2)-1/2], => d2y/dx2 = -1/2 * (1 x2)-3/2 * d/dx(1 x2), => d2y/dx2 = -1/2 * (1 x2)-3/2 * (-2x), => d2y/dx2 = x/(1 x2)3/2 Hence proved. Example 2: If y = A cos nx + B sin nx, then prove (d2y/dx2) + n2y = 0 Solution: Step 1: In above question, given that y = A cos nx + B sin nx Step 2: On differentiation of y with respect to x, we get dy/dx = - An sin nx + Bn cos nx..equation(1) Step 3: On differentiation again with respect to x, we get d2y/dx2 = d/dx(- An sin nx + Bn cos nx ) => d2y/dx2 = - An2 cos nx + Bn2 sin nx => d2y/dx2 = - n2 (A cos nx + B sin nx)

=> ( d2y/dx2) = - n2y => (d2y/dx2) + n2y = 0 Hence proved. Example 3: If y = A emx + B enx , then prove d2y/dx2 (m + n)dy/dx + mny = 0 Solution: Step 1: In above question, given that y = A emx + B enx Step 2: On differentiation of y with respect to x, we get dy/dx = Am emx + Bn enx ..equation(1) Step 3: On differentiation again with respect to x, we get d2y/dx2 = d/dx(Am emx + Bn enx ) = => d2y/dx2 = Am2 emx + Bn2 enx equation(2) Step 4: After all differentiate part we manage our equation d2y/dx2 (m + n)dy/dx + mny = 0 we put d2y/dx2 from eq(2) and dy/dx from eq(1) in left hand part of above equation Am2 emx + Bn2 enx - (m + n)* (Am emx + Bn enx) + mn * (emx + B enx) => Am2 emx + Bn2 enx - Am2 emx Bn2 enx - mn * (emx + B enx) + mn * (emx + B enx) => 0 = Rhs So, d2y/dx2 (m + n)dy/dx + mny = 0 Hence proved. Example 4: If y = A cos ( log x) + B sin ( log x), then prove x2 * (d2y/dx2) + x dy/dx + y = 0 Solution: Step 1: In above question, given that y = A cos ( log x) + B sin ( log x) Step 2: On differentiation of y with respect to x, we get dy/dx = -1/x * A sin (log x) + 1/x * B cos(log x)

=> x *(dy/dx) = - A sin (log x) + B cos(log x)..equation(1) Step 3: On differentiation of eq(1) with respect to x, we get x * (d2y/dx2) = -A cos (log x)/x B sin(log x)/x => x2 * (d2y/dx2) + x dy/dx= -(A cos (log x) + B sin (log x)) => x2 * (d2y/dx2) + x dy/dx = -y => x2 * (d2y/dx2) + x dy/dx + y = 0 Hence proved. Example 5: If y = tan x + sec x, then prove (d2y/dx2) = cos x/(1 sin x)2 Solution: Step 1: In above question, given that y = tan x + sec x Step 2: On differentiation of y with respect to x, we get dy/dx = sec2 x + sec x. tan x => dy/dx = 1/cos2 x + sin x/ cos2 x => dy/dx = (1 + sin x)/ cos2 x => dy/dx = (1 + sin x)/ (1 sin2 x) => dy/dx = 1/(1-sin x)..equation(1) Step 3: On differentiation of eq(1) with respect to x, we get (d2y/dx2) = d/dx(1/ (1 sin x)) = d/dx((1 sin x)-1 ) => d2y/dx2 = (-1)(1- sin x)-2 d/dx(1 sin x) => d2y/dx2 = (-1)(1- sin x)-2 (- cos x)

=> (d2y/dx2) = cos x/(1 sin x)Hence proved. These are some examples which show how we calculate linear second order differential equation and how we can prove linear second order differential equation.
