从 y′=y2−x 开始连续求导。每次对含 y 的式子求导时,都要记得 y 是 x 的函数。

Given
dxdy=y2−x.
Differentiate:
dx2d2y=2ydxdy−1.
Differentiate again:
dx3d3y=2ydx2d2y+2(dxdy)2.
Now differentiate once more:
dx4d4y==2ydx3d3y+2dxdydx2d2y+4dxdydx2d2y2ydx3d3y+6dxdydx2d2y.
Therefore
A=2,B=6.

思路
展开
展开中心是 x=−1,所以 Taylor series 要写成 (x+1) 的幂。先用微分方程和 (a) 的结果求出在 x=−1 时的各阶导数。

At x=−1,
y=1.
First,
y′=y′(−1)=y2−x12−(−1)=2.
Also,
y′′=y′′(−1)=2yy′−1,2(1)(2)−1=3.
Using
y′′′=2yy′′+2(y′)2,
we get
y′′′(−1)===2(1)(3)+2(2)26+814.
Using part (a),
y(4)=2yy′′′+6y′y′′,
so
y(4)(−1)===2(1)(14)+6(2)(3)28+3664.
Therefore
y===y(−1)+y′(−1)(x+1)+2!y′′(−1)(x+1)2+3!y′′′(−1)(x+1)3+4!y(4)(−1)(x+1)4+⋯1+2(x+1)+23(x+1)2+614(x+1)3+2464(x+1)4+⋯1+2(x+1)+23(x+1)2+37(x+1)3+38(x+1)4+⋯.
Thus
y=1+2(x+1)+23(x+1)2+37(x+1)3+38(x+1)4+⋯.
