For any real numbers α\alpha and β\beta, let yα,β(x),x∈Ry_{\alpha, \beta}(x), x \in \mathbb{R}, be the solution of the differential equation dydx+αy=xeβx,y(1)=1\frac{dy}{dx} + \alpha y = x e^{\beta x}, y(1) = 1 Let S={yα,β(x):α,β∈R}S = \{y_{\alpha, \beta}(x) : \alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R}\}. Then which of the following functions belong(s) to the set SS?

Answers: A. f(x)=x22e−x+(e−12)e−xf(x) = \frac{x^{2}}{2} e^{-x} + \left(e - \frac{1}{2}\right) e^{-x} · C. f(x)=ex2(x−12)+(e−e22)e−xf(x) = \frac{e^{x}}{2}\left(x - \frac{1}{2}\right) + \left(e - \frac{e^{2}}{2}\right) e^{-x}

Written solution

dydx+αy=xeβx\dfrac{dy}{dx}+\alpha y = x e^{\beta x}

y(1)=1,α,β∈Ry(1)=1,\quad \alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}

S={yα,β}S = \{y_{\alpha,\beta}\}

find the general form of yα,β\text{find the general form of } y_{\alpha,\beta}

then test each option’s structure and y(1)=1\text{then test each option's structure and } y(1)=1

1. integrating factor eαx1.\ \text{integrating factor } e^{\alpha x}

2. general form of y2.\ \text{general form of } y

3. test each option3.\ \text{test each option}

μ=eαx:(yeαx)′=xe(α+β)x\mu=e^{\alpha x}:\quad \left(ye^{\alpha x}\right)' = x e^{(\alpha+\beta)x}

yeαx=∫xe(α+β)x dx+Cye^{\alpha x} = \int x e^{(\alpha+\beta)x}\,dx + C

k=α+β≠0:y=eβx ⁣(xk−1k2)+Ce−αxk=\alpha+\beta\ne0:\quad y=e^{\beta x}\!\left(\dfrac{x}{k}-\dfrac{1}{k^2}\right)+Ce^{-\alpha x}

k=0 (β=−α):y=eβx ⁣(x22+C)k=0\ (\beta=-\alpha):\quad y=e^{\beta x}\!\left(\dfrac{x^2}{2}+C\right)

so y=eβx(Ax+B)+Ce−αx,B=−A2\text{so } y=e^{\beta x}(Ax+B)+Ce^{-\alpha x},\quad B=-A^2

or (when β=−α): y=eβx ⁣(x22+C)\text{or (when } \beta=-\alpha\text{)}:\ y=e^{\beta x}\!\left(\tfrac{x^2}{2}+C\right)

f3(1)=e2⋅12+(e−e22)e−1=1−e4f_3(1) = \dfrac{e}{2}\cdot\dfrac12+\left(e-\dfrac{e^2}{2}\right)e^{-1} = 1-\dfrac{e}{4}

f4(1)=1+e4f_4(1) = 1+\dfrac{e}{4}

≠1⇒(3),(4)∉S\ne 1 \Rightarrow (3),(4)\notin S

f1=e−x ⁣(x22+e−12): β=−1, α=1, C=e−12f_1 = e^{-x}\!\left(\dfrac{x^2}{2}+e-\dfrac12\right):\ \beta=-1,\ \alpha=1,\ C=e-\dfrac12

f1′+f1=xe−x,f1(1)=1⇒(1)∈Sf_1'+f_1 = x e^{-x},\quad f_1(1)=1 \Rightarrow (1)\in S

f2=e−x ⁣(−x22+e+12)f_2 = e^{-x}\!\left(-\dfrac{x^2}{2}+e+\dfrac12\right)

k=0 needs +x22;k≠0 gives a linear term⇒(2)∉Sk=0 \text{ needs } +\dfrac{x^2}{2};\quad k\ne0 \text{ gives a linear term} \Rightarrow (2)\notin S

only (1)∈S\text{only } (1)\in S

option (1)\boxed{\text{option }(1)}
