Answer

(a) The value is y=c1x+c2xlnx+c3xln2x+lnx

(b) The value is y=3x-xlnx+xln2x+lnx

1(a) Step 1: Firstly solve for y n

The given equation is, x3y'''+xy'-y=3-lnx

Solve for, yn

x3y'''+xy'-y=0

Let, y=xr

x3xr'''+xxr'-xr=0

Solve the above equation,

x3rr-1r-2xr-3+xrxr-1-xr=0rr-1r-2xr+rxr-xr=0r-1r2-2r+r-1xr=0r-1r2-2r+1xr=0r-13xr=0

Now one has,

r = 1,1,1

Then, yn=c1x+c2xlnx+c3xln2x

2Step 2 :A general solution to the nonhomogeneous equation.

y=yn+ypy=c1x+c2xlnx+c3xln2x+lnx

3(b) Step 3:Solve for given initial conditions.

Given initial conditions are, y1=3,y'1=3,y''1=0;

Firstly, solve for, y1=3

One has, y=c1x+c2xlnx+c3xln2x+lnx

Substitute y1=3 in the above equation,

3=c11+c21ln1+c31ln21+ln13=c1+c20+c30+0c1=3

4Step 4: Now, solve for y 1 (1)=3,

One has, y'=c1+c21+lnx+c3x2lnxx+ln2x+1x

Substitute y'1=3 in the above equation,

3=c1+c21+ln1+c312ln11+ln21+113=c1+c21+c30+0+13=c1+c2+1c1+c2=2

Substitute c1=3 in the above equation,

3+c2=2c2=-1

5Step 5: Now, solve for y '' (1)=0,

One has, y''=c21x+c32x+2lnxx-1x2

Substitute y''1=0 in the above equation,

0=c211+c321+2ln11-1120=c2+c32-1c2+2c3=1

Substitute c2=-1 in the above equation,

-1+2c3=12c3=2c3=1

6Step 6: conclusion, the solution that satisfies the specified initial condition.

Substitute the value of c1,c2 and c3 in the general solution.

y=3x+-1xlnx+1xln2x+lnxy=3x-xlnx+xln2x+lnx
