VECTOR ALGEBRA

VECTORS_THEORY
A scalar is a quantity, which has only magnitude but does not have a direction. For ILLUSTRATION time, mass, temperature, distance and specific gravity etc. are scalars.
A Vector is a quantity which has magnitude, direction and follow the law of parallelogram
(addition of two vectors). For ILLUSTRATION displacement, force, acceleration are vectors.
(i)

(ii)

There are different ways of denoting a vector : a or a or a are different ways.



We use for our convenience a, b , c etc. to denote vectors, and a, b, c to denote their

magnitude. Magnitude of a vector a is also written as a .


A vector a may be represented by a line segment OA and arrow gives direction of this vector..
Length of the line segment gives the magnitude of the vector.
A

Here O is the initial point and


A is the terminal point of OA

ADDITION OF TWO VECTORS


Let OA a , AB b and OB c .

Here c is sum (or resultant) of vectors a and b . It is to be noticed that the initial point of
coincides with the terminal point of and the line joining the initial point of to the terminal point
of represents vector in magnitude and direction.
B
c = ab
b

TYPE OF VECTORS
(i)

Equal Vectors
Two vectors are said to be equal if and only if they have equal magnitudes and same direction.

IIT-MATHS-SET-III

(ii)

AB = CD

As well as direction is same

Zero Vector (null vector)

A vector whose initial and terminal points are same, is called the null vector. For ILLUSTRATION.

Such vector has zero magnitude and no direction, and denoted by 0 .


AB BC CA AA

or AB BC CA 0
C

(iii)

Like and Unlike Vectors


Two vectors are said to be
(i)

Like, when they have same direction.

(ii) Unlike, when they are in opposite directions.


and are two unlike vectors as their directions are opposite, and are like vectors.

(iv)

Unit Vector
4

VECTORS_THEORY
A unit vector is a vector whose magnitude is unity. We write, unit vector in the direction of as
. Therefore = .

(v)

Parallel vectors
Two or more vectors are said to be parallel, if they have the same support or parallel support.
Parallel vectors may have equal or unequal magnitudes and direction may be same or opposite. As shown in figure

(vi)

Position Vector
If is any point in the space then the vector is called position vector of point , where O is the
origin of reference. Thus for any points A and B in the space,

(vii) Coinitial vectors


Vectors having same initial point are called coinitial vectors. As shown in figure:
Here and are coinitial vectors.

COLLINEAR VECTORS

Two vectors are said to be collinear if and only if there exists a scalar m such that a mb .
Thus
(i) any vector a and zero vector are always collinear..
(ii) like and unlike vectors are collinear.

Note that xa yb 0 x y 0 if and only if a and b are noncollinear. Thus repre-

sentation of any vector as a linear combination of noncollinear vectors a and b is unique.

COPLANAR VECTORS

are coplanar if there exists a relation
Three vectors a,
b, c
xa yb zc = 0
(where x, y, z are scalars, not all zero)
Thus,

(i) any two vectors a and b and a zero vector are always coplanar..

(ii) if any two of a , b and c are collinear, then a , b and c are coplanar..
(iii) there exists a plane which can contain all coplanar vectors.

Note that xa yb zc 0

x = 0, y = 0, z = 0 if and only if vectors a , b and c are

noncoplanar.

Any vector r , coplanar with noncollinear vectors a and b , can be expressed as a linear

combination of vectors a and b uniquely..


i.e., for same scalars m and n

COLLINEARITYAND COPLANARITY OF POINTS


(i)

The necessary and sufficient condition for three points with position vectors and to be
collinear is that there exist scalars x, y, z, not all zero, such that , where x + y + z = 0.

(ii)

The necessary and sufficient condition for four points with position vectors and to be coplanar is that then exist scalars x, y, z and u, not all zero, such that , where x + y + z + u = 0.

ORTHOGONAL SYSTEM OF UNIT VECTORS


Let OX, OY and OZ be three mutually perpendicular straight lines. Given any point
P(x, y, z) in space, we can construct the rectangular parallelopied of which OP is a diagonal and OA
= x, OB = y, OC = z.

IIT-MATHS-SET-III
Here A, B, C are (x, 0, 0), (0, y, 0) and (0, 0, z) respectively and L, M, N are (0, y, z),
(x, 0, z) and (x, y, 0) respectively.
Let i , j, k denote unit vectors along OX, OY and OZ respectively..

We have r OP xi yj zk as OA xi , OB yj and OC zk .

If P (x1, y1, z1) and Q (x2, y2, z2) then PQ = (x2 x1) i + (y2 y1) j + (z2 z1) k

VECTORS_THEORY
Therefore PQ =

VECTOR (CROSS) PRODUCT

ANGLE BETWEEN TWO LINES

Let the vector equations of two lines be r a b and r c d . These two lines are

parallel to the vectors b a1i b1 j c1k and d a2i b2 j c2 k respectively. Therefore,

necessarily square

2 1 3

0 2 3 1

Thus if A = [aij]m n is a skew symmetric matrix, then m = n, aij = aji i.e., A A .
Obviously diagonal elements of a square matrix are zero.

Orthogonal Matrix
A square matrix A is said to be orthogonal, if AA = AA I , where I is a unit matrix.
Note: (i) If A is orthogonal, then A is also orthogonal.

Unitary Matrix
A square matrix A is called unitary matrix if AA A A I .
Idempotent Matrix: A square matrix A is called idempotent provided it satisfies the relation A2 =
A.

and call it a determinant of order 2.

Similarly the equations a1x + b1y + c1z = 0, a2x + b2y + c2z = 0 and a3x + b3y + c3z = 0 have

The number ai, bi, ci (i = 1, 2, 3) are called the elements of the determinant.
The determinant obtained by deleting the ith row and jth column is called the minor of the
element at the ith row and jth column. We shall denote it by Mij. The cofactor of this element
is (1)i+j Mij, denoted by Cij.
Let A = [aij]33 be a matrix, then the corresponding determinant (denoted by det A or | A |) is

It is easy to see that | A | = a11C11+ a12 C12 + a13C13 (we say that we have expanded the
determinant | A | along first row). Infect value of | A | can be obtained by expanding it along any
row or along any column. Further note that if elements of a row (column) are multiplied to the
cofactors of other row (column) and then added, then the result is zero.

INVERSE OF A SQUARE MATRIX


Let A be any nrowed square matrix. Then a matrix B, if exists, such that AB = BA = In, is
called the inverse of A. Inverse of A is usually denoted by A1 (if exists).
We have |A| In = A(adjA)
|A| A1 = (adjA). Thus the necessary and sufficient condition for a square matrix A to
possess the inverse is that |A| 0 and then A1 =

Adj(A)
A square matrix A is called non|A|

singular if |A| 0. Hence a square matrix A is invertible if and only if A is non-singular.


Properties of Inverse of a Matrix
(i)

Every invertible matrix possesses a unique inverse.

(ii) If A and B are invertible matrices of the same order, then AB is invertible and
(AB)1 = B1 A1.
(iii) If A is an invertible square matrix, then AT is also invertible and (AT)1 = (A1)T.
(iv) If A is a non-singular square matrix of order n, then |adjA| = |A|n1
(v) If A and B are non-singular square matrices of the same order, t hen
adj (AB) = (adj B) (adj A)

(i)

Determinant Method of Solution


We have the following two cases :

Case I
If 0, then the given system of equations has unique solution, given by
x x / , y y / and z z / .
Case II
If 0, then two sub cases arise:
(a) at least one of x , y and z is non-zero, say x 0. Now in x. x , L.H.S. is zero
and R.H.S. is not equal to zero. Thus we have no value of x satisfying x. x . Hence given
system of equations has no solution.
(b) x y z 0. In the case the given equations are dependent. Delete one or two
equation from the given system (as the case may be) to obtain independent equation(s). The
remaining equation(s) may have no solution or infinitely many solution(s). For example in x +
y + z = 3, 2x + 2y + 2z = 9, 3x + 3y + 3z = 12, x y z 0 and hence equations are
dependent (infact third equation is the sum of first two equations). Now after deleting the third
equation we obtain independent equations x + y + z = 3, 2x + 2y + 2z = 9, which obviously
have no solution (infact these are parallel planes) where as in x + y + z = 3, 2x y + 3z = 4,
3x + 4z = 7, x = y z 0 and hence equations are dependent (infact third equation
is the sum of first two equations). Now after deleting any equation (say third) we obtain
independent equations x + y + z = 3, 2x y + 3z = 4, which have infinitely many solutions
(infact these are non parallel planes) For let z = R, then x

2
and y
. Hence

we get infinitely many solutions.

(ii)

Matrix Method of Solution


(a) 0, then A1 exists and hence AX = B A1 (AX) = A1 B x = A1 B and
therefore unique values of x, y and z are obtained.
(b) If 0, then from the matrix [A : B], known as augmented matrix (a matrix of order

MATRICES AND DETERMINANTS


3 4). Using row operations obtain a matrix from [A : B], whose last row corresponding to
A is zero (which is possible as 0 ). If last entry of B in this matrix is non-zero, then the
system has no solution else the given equations are dependent. Proceed further in the same
way as in the case of determinant method of solution discussed earlier.
Aliter of (ii (b)) : We have AX = B ((adj A)A)X = (adj A)B X = (adj A)B.
If = 0, then X = 03 1, zero matrix of order 3 1. Now if (adj A)B = 0, then the system
AX = B has infinitily many solution, else no solution.
Note : A system of equation is called consistent if it has a least one solution. If the system has no
solution, then it is called inconsistent.

Illustration 8:
Solve the system of equations
x + 2y + 3z = 1
2x + 3y + 2z = 2
3x + 3y + 4z = 1
with the help of matrix inversion.
Solution :
The given system of equations in the matrix form can be written as

1 2 3 x 1

AX = B

Now |A| = 1(12 6) 2 (8 6) + 3(6 9)
= 6 4 9 = 7 0.
Hence the given system has unique solution.

SYSTEM OF LINEAR HOMOGENEOUS SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS

38

MATRICES AND DETERMINANTS


Consider the system of linear homogeneous simultaneous equations in three unknowns x, y
and z, given by a1x + b1y + c1z = 0, a2x + b2y + c2z = 0 and a3x + b3y + c3z = 0.
In this case, system of equations is always consistent as x = y = z = 0 is always a solution. If
the system has unique solution (the case when coefficient determinant 0), then x = y = z =
0 is the only solution (called trivial solution). However if the system has coefficient determinant
= 0, then the system has infinitely many solutions. Hence in this case we get solutions other
than trivial solution also and we say that we have non-trivial solutions.

QUADRATIC EQUATION

Basic concepts
An equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a 0 and a, b, c are real numbers, is called
a quadratic equation over reals.
The numbers a, b and c are called the coefficients of the quadratic equation. A root of the
quadratic equation is a number (real or imaginary) such that a 2 + b + c = 0.
The roots of the quadratic equation are given by
b b 2 4ac
x
2a

The quantity D (= b2 4ac) is known as the discriminant of the equation.

Basic Results
(i)

The quadratic equation has real and equal roots if and only if D = 0

(ii) The quadratic equation has real and distinct roots if and only if D > 0
(iii) The quadratic equation has complex roots with non-zero imaginary parts if and only if
D < 0.
(iv) If p + iq (p and q being real) is a root of the quadratic equation, where i 1 , then
p iq is also a root of the quadratic equation.
(v) If p q is an irrational root of the quadratic equation, then p q is also a root of the
quadratic equation provided that all the coefficients are rational, q not being a perfect square.
(vi) The quadratic equation has rational roots if D is a perfect square of a rational number
and a, b, c are rationals.
(vii) If a = 1 and b, c are integers and the roots of the quadratic equation are rational, then the
roots must be integers.
(viii) If the quadratic equation is satisfied by more than two distinct numbers (real or imaginary), then it becomes an identity i.e., a = b = c = 0
(ix) Let and be two roots of a given quadratic equation. Then + =

b
c
and .
a

(x) A quadratic equation, whose roots are and can be written as (x ) (x ) =


0 i.e., ax2 + bx + c a(x - ) (x ).

f(x) is either positive or negative. Now arrange a1, a2, . . . . . , an, b1, b2, . . . . . , bm in an
increasing order say c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, . . . . . , cm+n. Plot them on the real line. Draw a curve
starting from right of cm+n along the real line which alternately changes its position at these
points. This curve is known as the wavy curve.

The intervals in which the curve is above the real line will be the intervals for which f(x) is positive
and the intervals in which the curve is below the real line will be the intervals in which f(x) is
negative.

QUADRATIC EXPRESSION
The expression ax2 + bx + c is said to be a real quadratic expression in x where a, b, c
are real and a 0,
Let f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, c R (a 0).

f(x) can be re-written as f(x) = a x 2a 4a 2 a x 2a 4a 2 , where

D = b2 4ac is the discriminant of the quadratic expression.


Therefore y = f(x) represents a parabola whose axis is parallel to the y-axis, with vertex at A

Note that if a > 0, the parabola will be concave upwards and if a < 0 the parabola will be

Notes: (i) if a > 0, then minima of f(x) occurs at x = b/2a and if a < 0, then maxima of f(x)
occurs at x = b/2a
(ii) If f(x) = 0 has two distinct real roots, then a.f(d) < 0 if and only if d lies between the roots
and a.f(d) > 0 if and only if d lies outside the roots.

the roots as well as the product of the roots is positive.

QUADRATIC INEQUATIONS
Let f(x) = ax2 + bx + c be a quadratic expression. Then inequations of the type f(x) 0
or f(x) 0 are known as quadratic inequations. The study of these can be easily done by
taking the corresponding quadratic expression and by applying the basic results of quadratic
expression.

Let ax2 + bx + c = 0 and dx2 + ex + f = 0 have a common root (say). Then

THEORY OF POLYNOMIAL EQUATIONS


Consider the equation
anxn + an1 xn1 + an2xn2 .... + a1x + a0 = 0

... (1)

(a0, a1 , .... , an are real coefficients and an 0)


Let 1 , 2 , ......., n be the roots of equation (1), Then
anxn + an1 xn1 + an2xn2 + ... + a1x + aa an ( x 1 ) (x 2 ) ... (x n )

... (2)

Comparing the coefficients of like powers of x, we get

QUADRATIC EQUATION
Remarks

A polynomial equation of degree n has n roots (real or imaginary).

If all the coefficients are real then the imaginary roots occur in pairs i.e., number of
imaginary roots is always even.
If the degree of a polynomial equation is odd then the number of real roots will also be
odd. It follows that at least one of the roots will be real.

If is a repeated root, repeating r times of a polynomial equation f(x) = 0 of degree n

i.e., f(x) = ( x ) r g ( x ) , where g(x) is a polynomial of degree nr and g ( ) 0, then


f( ) = f ( ) = f ( ) = ... = f (r1) ( ) = 0 and f r ( ) 0 and vice versa.
Thus polynomial in x of degree n can be factorized into a product of linear/quadratic
form.

Remainder Theorem

If we divide a polynomial p(x) in x by (x ), then remainder obtained is p( ). Note


that if p( ) 0, then x is a factor of p(x).

If a polynomial of degree n has n + 1 roots say x1, x2, ... xn+1 , xi xj if i j, then the
polynomial is identically zero. i.e., p(x) 0.
(In other words, the coefficients a0, ... an are all zero).
2 2 2 < 0, which is not possible if all , and are reals. So atleast one root
i
s
non-real. As imaginary roots occurs in pair, given cubic equation has two non-real roots and
one real root.

METHODS OF INTEGRATION
If the integrand is not a derivative of a known function, then the corresponding integral cannot
be found directly. In order to find the integral of complex problems, generally three rules of
integration are used.
Integration by substitution or by change of the independent variable.
Integration by parts.
Integration using partial fractions.

Integration By Substitution:
There are following types of substitutions.
5.1.1 Direct Substitution: If integral is of the form f (g(x))g(x) dx, then put g(x) = t,
provided f (t)dt exists.

Note: (i)

INDIRECT SUBSTITUTION
If the integrand is of the form f(x).g(x), where g(x) is a function of the integral of f(x), then put

INTEGRATION BY PARTS
When integrand involves more than one type of functions we may solve them using integration
by parts. The rule, its derivation and uses are given below.
Derivation of the result
We know that

d
dv
du
(uv) u
v
dx
dx
dx

d(uv) = udv + vdu

d(uv) udv vdu

udv uv vdu

If we take u as part 1 and dv as part 2, then the above result can be written as

(part1) (part 2)
= (part 1) [integral of part 2] [integral of part 2] [differential of part 1]

PROPER CHOICE OF FIRST AND SECOND FUNCTIONS


Usually, the following order is useful in deciding the first part. The function on the left is taken
as the first part and the function on right is taken as second part.
Inverse, logarithmic, algebraic, trigonometric and exponents are usually taken as first part.
The above rule to decide between first part and second part is known as ILATE rule.

Integrate the first integral on the RHS by parts taking ex as the second function, we get
I = ex f(x)

e f (x) dx e

f (x) dx

I = ex f(x)
Thus to evaluate the integrals of the type e x g(x) dx , we first try to express g(x) as the sum
of the function and its derivative i.e., g(x) = f(x) + f (x) and then we use the result derived
above.

INTEGRATION BY PARTIAL FRACTIONS


The integrals of rational functions can be evaluated by splitting them into partial fractions. An
expression containing a polynomial in numerator and another polynomial in denominator is
83

IIT - MATHS - SET - III


called a rational function.
polynomial N(x)
Rational
Function
f(x)
=

polynomial D(x)

Case-I
If the degree of numerator is less than the degree of denominator, we can split the rational
functions into simpler fractions according to the factors of denominator.
For example: Let f(x) =

x
2x 5x 3
2

x
1
3
= (x 1) (2x 3) x 1 2x 3
1
3
and
are known as partial fractions of f(x).
x 1
2x 3

The integral of f(x) can now be evaluated as the sum of the integrals of its partial fractions.
f (x) dx = log |x 1| + 3/2 log |2x 3| + C
Case -II
If the degree of N(x) is greater than or equal to the degree of D(x), we divide N(x) by D (x)
so that the rational function

N(x)
R(x)
is expressed in the form Q(x) +
, where Q(x) and
D(x)
D(x)

R(x) are polynomials such that the degree of R(x) is less than the degree of D(x). Now as
Q(x) is a polynomial, it can be easily integrated and to integrate

R(x)
we make use of partial
D(x)

fractions as we have done in case-I.


The resolution of

R(x)
into partial fractions depends upon the nature of the factors of the
D(x)

denominator D(x) as discussed below.


When denominator D(x) is expressible as the product of non-repeating linear factors.
Let D(x) = (x a1) (x a2) ..... (x an). Then we assume that,
R(x)
A1
A2
An

.....
D(x) x a1 x a 2
x an

where A1, A2 .... An are constants and can be determined by equating the numerator on RHS
to the numerator on LHS and then substitute x = a1, x = a2, ..... , x = an respectively.

When denominator g(x) is expressible as the product of linear factors such that some
of them are repeating.
Let D(x) = (x a)k (x a1) (x a2) .... (x an). Then we assume that

Now to determine constants we equate numerators on both sides. Then from the resulting
identity we can find all constants by substituting the various values of x as we have done
earlier.
When some of the factors of denominator D(x) are quadratic (which can not be
factorised further) but not repeating.
Corresponding to each quadratic factor of the type ax2 + bx + c, we assume partial fractions
Ax B
, where A and B are constants to be determined by comparing
ax 2 bx c
coefficients of similar powers of x in the numerator of both sides. (The constants can also be

of the type

determined using methods which we have used earlier.

To evaluate the integrals of type (a) and (b) we express the linear factor in the numerator as
px + q = m (derivative of quadratic expression in the denominator) + n
To integrate the integrals of type c, we divide the numerator by the denominator and
express the integrand as
Q(x) +

R(x)
, where R(x) is a linear function of x.

is called definite integration of (x) with limits a and b. a is called the lower limit and b is
called the upper limit of the integral.

GEOMETRICAL INTERPRETATION OF DEFINITE INTEGRAL


b

For f(x) 0 x [a, b] , f (x) dx gives the area ALMB bounded by the curve y = f(x), the
x-axis and the lines x = a aand x = b.

y = f(x)

i.e.,

f (x) dx = area ALMB

In general f (x) dx represents the algebraic sum of the areas of the figures bounded by the
graph of thea function y = f(x), the x-axis and the straight lines x = a and x = b. The area above
the x-axis enter in to this sum with a positive sign, while those below the x-axis enter with a
negative sign.

If f(x) is a continuous function on [a, b] , then

Where F(x) is any function defined on [a, b] such that F(x) f (x) ... (1)

CHANGE OF VARIABLE IN DEFINITE INTEGRATION


If the functions f(x) is continuous on [a, b] and the function x = g(t) is continuously differentiable on the interval [t1, t2] and a = g (t1) and b = g (t2), then

IMPROPER INTEGRALS
Definite integral for which a or b or both are infinite are called improper integrals. These are
evaluated in the following manner.

(i)

f (x) dx lim f (x) dx,


a

f (x) dx lim f (x) dx,

(ii)

f (x) dx f (x) dx f (x) dx

(iii)

Another type of improper integral is that in which the integrand is not defined for a point
c [a, b] .
In both type of improper integral we take limiting values as shown in the following example.

PIECEWISE CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS


Consider a function f(x) defined on [a, b] which has discontinuity at finite number of points say
x1, x2 ... xn. In such a case break the intervals [a,b] in to sub intervals such that f(x) is continuous in each sub interval. Such a function is known as piecewise continuous function.

CURVE SKETCHING
For the evaluation of area of bounded regions it is very essential to know the rough sketch of
the curves. The following points are very useful to draw a rough sketch of a curve.
While constructing the graph of f(x, y) = 0, it is expedient to follow the procedure given
below:
(1) Find the set of permissible values of x
(2) Check if the curve is symmetrical about x-axis, y-axis, origin etc
(3) Find the period of the curve if it is periodic
(4) Find the asymptote(s) of the curve, if any
(5) Find the intervals of increase and decrease of the curve. Hence determine the greatest
and the least values of the curve, if any.
Example 9 :
Find the area of the region bounded by the curves y = f(x), y = |g(x)| and the lines x = 0, x =
2, where f and g are continuous functions satisfying f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) 8xy for all x, y R
and g(x + y) = g(x) + g(y) + 3xy (x + y) for all x, y R . also f (0) 8 and g(0) 4
Solution:
Given, f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) 8xy for all x, y
Putting x = 0 and y = 0, we get
f(0) = f(0) + f(0) f(0) = 0

Integrating both sides, we get

Putting x = 0, we get f(0) = 0 + c c = 0 [ f (0) 0]


Hence f(x) = 8x 4x2
Given g(x + y) = g(x) + g(y) + 3xy (x + y) for all x and y
Putting x = y = 0, we get g(0) = 0

The equations of the sides of the square are as follows:

y2 < 1 2x, y2 < 1 + 2x, x2 < 1 2y and x2 < 2y + 1
Now in y2 = 1 2x and y2 = 1 + 2x, the first equation represents a parabola (1/2, 0) with
vertex (1/2, 0) and second equation represents a parabola with vertex (1/2, 0).
And in x2 = 1 2y and x2 = 1 + 2y, the first equation represents a parabola with vertex at (0,
1/2) and second equation represents a parabola with vertex at (0, 1/2).

ORDER AND DEGREE OF A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION


The order of a differential equation is the order of the derivative of the highest order occuring
in the differential equation.
The degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest order differential coefficient
appearing in it, provided it can be expressed as a polynomial equation in derivatives.

FORMATION OF A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WHOSE GENERAL SOLUTION IS


GIVEN:
A differential equation can be derived from its equation by the process of differentiation and
other algebraical processes of elimination etc.
In order to obtain a differential equation whose solution is
f(x, y, c1, c2, . . . , cn) = 0

. . . (i)

where c1, c2, . . ., cn are n arbitrary constants, we have to eliminate the n constants for which
we require (n + 1) equations. The given relation along with n more, obtained by successively
differentiating it n times, provide us the required (n + 1) relations. The differential equation
thus obtained is clearly of the nth order.

SOLUTION OF A DIFFERENIAL EQUATION


A solution of a differential equation is an equation which contains arbitrary constants as many
as the order of the differential equation and is called the general solution. Other solutions,
obtained by giving particular values to the arbitrary constants in the general solution, are called
particular solutions.
Also, we know that the general integral of a function contains an arbitrary constant.
Therefore, the solution of a differential equation, resulting as it does from the operations of
integration, must contain arbitrary constants, equal in number to the number of times the
integration is involved in obtaining the solution, and this latter is equal to the order of the
differential equaiton.
Thus we see that the general solution of a differential equation of the nth order
must contain n and only n independent arbitrary constants.

SOLUTION OF A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION BY THE METHOD OF VARIABLE


SEPARATION
If the coefficient of dx is only a function of x and that of dy is only a functinon of y in the given
differential equation, then the equation can be solved using variable separation method
Thus the general form of such an equation is
f(x) dx + (y) dy

... (i)

Integrating, we get

f (x)dx (y).dy C
which is the solution of (i).

If we take f(a2x + b2y) =

a 2 x b 2 y c1
a 2x b2 y c2

a 2 x b 2 y c1

is a function of a2x + b2y..

have already learnt the method of solving this type of differential equation by substituting z =

HOMOGENEOUS DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION


A function f(x, y) is called homogeneous function of degree n if

IIT - MATHS - SET - III


f x, y n f (x, y)
For example:
(a) f(x, y) = x2y2 xy3 is a homogeneous function of degree four, since
f( x, y) = ( 2x2)( 2y2) ( x)( 3y3) = 4(x2y2 xy3) = 4 f(x, y).

degree zero is called a homogenous differential equation. Such equations are solved by sub-

A differential equation of the form

stituting v = y/x (or x/y) and then seperating the variables.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION REDUCIBLE TO HOMOGENOUS FORMS


Equation of the form

ax by c
dy
=
(aB Ab) can be reduced to a homogenous form
dx Ax By C

by changing the variables x, y to X, Y by equations x = X + h, y = Y + k, where h, k are


constants to be chosen so as to make the given equation homogenous, we have

dy d Y k dY dY dX dY

dx
dx
dx dX dx dX
So equation becomes
aX bY ah bk c
dY

dX AX BY Ah Bk C

Let h and k be chosen so as to satisfy the equations ah + bk + c = 0 and Ah + Bk + C = 0


This gives h =

bC Bc
Ac aC

, which are meaningful except when aB = Ab
aB Ab

Thus the reduced equation is
