What our customers say...

Thousands of users are using our software to conquer their algebra homework. Here are some of their experiences:

I was having problems learning quadratic equations, until I purchased your software. Now I know how to do not only do quadratics, but I also learned with the step by step examples how to do other more difficult equations and inequalities. Great product!

My decision to buy "The Algebrator" for my son to assist him in algebra homework is proving to be a wonderful choice. He now takes a lot of interest in fractions and exponential expressions. For this improvement I thank you.

I am a 9th grade student and always wondered how some students always got good marks in mathematics but could never imagine that I’ll be one of them. Hats off to Algebrator! Now I have a firm grasp over algebra and my approach to problem solving is more methodical.
Nobert, TX

Math couldn't be easier with Algebrator. Thanks!
Billy Hafren, TX

To be honest I was a little skeptical at first about how easy Algebrator would be. But it really is the easiest program to get up and running. I was learning algebra within minutes of downloading the software.
Pam Marris, TX

The new version is sooo cool! This is a really great tool – will have to tell the other parents about it... No more scratching my head trying to help the kids when I get home from work after a long day, especially when the old brain is starting to turn to mush after a 10 hour day.
P.W., Louisiana

Thanks so much for the explanation to help solve the problems so I could understand the concept. I appreciate your time and effort.

ANALYTIC METHODS FOR EXACT AND LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

EXACT DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

INTEGRATING FACTOR TO FORCE EXACTNESS

LINEAR FIRST-ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

A first order linear equation has the following form.

(20) [Graphics:2txgr137.gif]

Note that [Graphics:2txgr138.gif] is a function of x alone. If [Graphics:2txgr139.gif], then the equation is homogeneous. If we rearange (20) as follows

(21) [Graphics:2txgr140.gif]

Comparing this form to (1) shows that the first order linear is very similar to the exact type differential equation. From this we see that

(22) [Graphics:2txgr141.gif]

and

(23) [Graphics:2txgr142.gif]

Applying the partial derivative test to this gives [Graphics:2txgr143.gif] and [Graphics:2txgr144.gif], as verified below. Unless [Graphics:2txgr145.gif] the linear first order will not pass the exactness test. This suggests we try the integrating factor method suggested above. Equation (18) is what we need. It is reproduced below.

	[Graphics:2txgr146.gif]
	[Graphics:2txgr147.gif]

Now looking at equation (18),

(24) [Graphics:2txgr148.gif]

we see that [Graphics:2txgr149.gif], [Graphics:2txgr150.gif], and [Graphics:2txgr151.gif]. This gives the following result for the integrating factor for the linear first-order equation.

(25) [Graphics:2txgr152.gif]

Multiplying (21) by this results gives the following:

(26) [Graphics:2txgr153.gif]

Notice that the left side is [Graphics:2txgr154.gif] so if we rewrite (26) and then integrate with respect to x we get

(27) [Graphics:2txgr155.gif].

The left side of this result is integrated by inspection to give

(28) [Graphics:2txgr156.gif]

or solving for y we have the following:

(29) [Graphics:2txgr157.gif]

Once a differential equation has been analyzed as first-order linear, then all that must be done is to identify the [Graphics:2txgr158.gif] and the [Graphics:2txgr159.gif] then substitute into (29) and do the integration. This result also constitutes a proof that a solution exists for the first order linear differential equation.Let us look at an example.

Example 3: [Graphics:2txgr160.gif]

In this case we also give an initial condition, that is [Graphics:2txgr161.gif]. First we rearange the equation to the form recognizable as first-order linear.

[Graphics:2txgr162.gif]

From this we see that [Graphics:2txgr163.gif] and [Graphics:2txgr164.gif]. We will try (29) on this problem. Because of similar names for several of the variables, I will turn off Mathematica's spell checker.

	[Graphics:2txgr165.gif]

	[Graphics:2txgr166.gif]
	[Graphics:2txgr167.gif]

Next we must satisfy the initial condition in order to evaluate the constant of integration, CC3.

	[Graphics:2txgr168.gif]
	[Graphics:2txgr169.gif]

	[Graphics:2txgr170.gif]
	[Graphics:2txgr171.gif]

We will plot our solution near the initial condition point (1,1).

	[Graphics:2gr173.gif]

	[Graphics:2gr174.gif]

                [Graphics:2gr175.gif]

For comparison, we will look at the DSolve results, which is the same as above.
