Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the given differential equation: \(y'(t) + y = \sqrt{y}\). Notice that this is a Bernoulli equation because it can be written in the form \(y' + P(t)y = Q(t)y^n\) with \(n = \frac{1}{2}\).
Rewrite the equation explicitly as \(y' + y = y^{1/2}\). Here, \(P(t) = 1\), \(Q(t) = 1\), and \(n = \frac{1}{2}\).
Make the substitution \(z = y^{1 - n} = y^{1 - \frac{1}{2}} = y^{\frac{1}{2}}\). This substitution transforms the nonlinear equation into a linear one in terms of \(z\).
Differentiate \(z\) with respect to \(t\): \(\frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} y^{-\frac{1}{2}} y'\). Solve this expression for \(y'\) to substitute back into the original equation.
Substitute \(y'\) in the original equation with the expression in terms of \(z\) and \(\frac{dz}{dt}\), then simplify to get a linear differential equation in \(z\). Solve this linear equation using an integrating factor.

Bernoulli Differential Equation

A Bernoulli differential equation is a nonlinear first-order ODE of the form y' + P(x)y = Q(x)y^n, where n ≠ 0 or 1. It can be transformed into a linear equation by an appropriate substitution, making it easier to solve.

Substitution Method for Bernoulli Equations

To solve a Bernoulli equation, use the substitution v = y^(1-n), which converts the nonlinear equation into a linear differential equation in terms of v. This allows the use of standard methods for linear ODEs.

Solving Linear First-Order Differential Equations

Once transformed, the equation becomes linear and can be solved using an integrating factor, μ(t) = e^(∫P(t)dt). Multiplying through by μ(t) simplifies the equation, enabling integration and solution for v(t), and then y(t).

38–43. Equilibrium solutions A differential equation of the form y′(t)=f(y) is said to be autonomous (the function f depends only on y). The constant function y=y0 is an equilibrium solution of the equation provided f(y0)=0 (because then y'(t)=0 and the solution remains constant for all t). Note that equilibrium solutions correspond to horizontal lines in the direction field. Note also that for autonomous equations, the direction field is independent of t. Carry out the following analysis on the given equations.
