解答

(a)

Given the transformation y=1z=z1y = \frac{1}{z} = z^{-1}, we differentiate with respect to xx:

dydx=z2dzdx=1z2dzdx\begin{align*} \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = &\,-z^{-2}\frac{\mathrm{d}z}{\mathrm{d}x} = -\frac{1}{z^2}\frac{\mathrm{d}z}{\mathrm{d}x} \end{align*}

Substitute yy and dydx\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} into differential equation (I):

x2(1z2dzdx)+x(1z)=2(1z)2x2z2dzdx+xz=2z2\begin{align*} x^2\left(-\frac{1}{z^2}\frac{\mathrm{d}z}{\mathrm{d}x}\right) + x\left(\frac{1}{z}\right) = &\,2\left(\frac{1}{z}\right)^2\\[4mm] -\frac{x^2}{z^2}\frac{\mathrm{d}z}{\mathrm{d}x} + \frac{x}{z} = &\,\frac{2}{z^2} \end{align*}

Multiply the entire equation by z2x2-\frac{z^2}{x^2}:

dzdxzx=2x2\begin{align*} \frac{\mathrm{d}z}{\mathrm{d}x} - \frac{z}{x} = &\,-\frac{2}{x^2} \end{align*}

This matches differential equation (II).

(b)

Differential equation (II) is a first-order linear ODE. The integrating factor (IF) is:

IF=e1xdx=elnx=1x\begin{align*} \text{IF} = &\,\mathrm{e}^{\int -\frac{1}{x}\,\mathrm{d}x}\\[4mm] = &\,\mathrm{e}^{-\ln x}\\[4mm] = &\,\frac{1}{x} \end{align*}

Multiply equation (II) by the integrating factor:

1xdzdx1x2z=2x3ddx(zx)=2x3\begin{align*} \frac{1}{x}\frac{\mathrm{d}z}{\mathrm{d}x} - \frac{1}{x^2}z = &\,-\frac{2}{x^3}\\[4mm] \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left(\frac{z}{x}\right) = &\,-\frac{2}{x^3} \end{align*}

Integrate both sides with respect to xx:

zx=2x3dxzx=x2+czx=1x2+c\begin{align*} \frac{z}{x} = &\,\int -2x^{-3}\,\mathrm{d}x\\[4mm] \frac{z}{x} = &\,x^{-2} + c\\[4mm] \frac{z}{x} = &\,\frac{1}{x^2} + c \end{align*}

Multiply by xx to find zz:

z=1x+cx\begin{align*} z = &\,\frac{1}{x} + cx \end{align*}

(c)

Reverse the substitution y=1zy = \frac{1}{z}, so z=1yz = \frac{1}{y}:

1y=1x+cx\begin{align*} \frac{1}{y} = &\,\frac{1}{x} + cx \end{align*}

Use the condition y=38y = -\frac{3}{8} when x=3x = 3:

83=13+3c93=3c3=3cc=1\begin{align*} -\frac{8}{3} = &\,\frac{1}{3} + 3c\\[4mm] -\frac{9}{3} = &\,3c\\[4mm] -3 = &\,3c\\[4mm] c = &\,-1 \end{align*}

Substitute c=1c = -1 back into the equation:

1y=1xx1y=1x2xy=x1x2\begin{align*} \frac{1}{y} = &\,\frac{1}{x} - x\\[4mm] \frac{1}{y} = &\,\frac{1 - x^2}{x}\\[4mm] y = &\,\frac{x}{1 - x^2} \end{align*}
