Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Rewrite the given differential equation in the standard linear form. Starting with \(xy' - y = 2x \ln x\), divide both sides by \(x\) (assuming \(x \neq 0\)) to get \(y' - \frac{1}{x} y = 2 \ln x\).
Identify the integrating factor \(\mu(x)\), which is given by \(\mu(x) = e^{\int P(x) \, dx}\) where \(P(x)\) is the coefficient of \(y\) in the standard form. Here, \(P(x) = -\frac{1}{x}\), so calculate \(\mu(x) = e^{\int -\frac{1}{x} \, dx}\).
Simplify the integrating factor \(\mu(x)\) by evaluating the integral \(\int -\frac{1}{x} \, dx\) and then exponentiating the result.
Multiply the entire differential equation by the integrating factor \(\mu(x)\) to transform the left side into the derivative of the product \(\mu(x) y\). This gives \(\frac{d}{dx} [\mu(x) y] = \mu(x) \cdot 2 \ln x\).
Integrate both sides with respect to \(x\) to find \(\mu(x) y = \int \mu(x) \cdot 2 \ln x \, dx + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration. Finally, solve for \(y\) by dividing both sides by \(\mu(x)\).
