The variables x and y are related by the differential equation \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{5}x y^{\frac{1}{2}} \sin \left( \frac{1}{3}x \right)\).
(i) Find the general solution, giving y in terms of x.
\((ii) Given that y = 100 when x = 0, find the value of y when x = 25.\)
Solution
(i) Separate variables and integrate: \(2y^{\frac{1}{2}} = \ldots\)
Integrate by parts for \(x \sin \left( \frac{1}{3}x \right)\):
\(-3x \cos \left( \frac{1}{3}x \right) + 9 \sin \left( \frac{1}{3}x \right)\)
General solution: \(y = \left( -\frac{3}{10}x \cos \left( \frac{1}{3}x \right) + \frac{9}{10} \sin \left( \frac{1}{3}x \right) + c \right)^2\)
(ii) Use \(x = 0\) and \(y = 100\) to find constant:
Substitute \(x = 25\) to find \(y\):
\(y = 203\)
