BASIC DEFINITION 
An equation containing an independent variable, dependent variable and differential coefficients of dependent variable with respect to independent variable is called a differential equation. An ordinary differential equation is one is which there is only one independent variable.
For Example :
 			.........(1) 
 		.........(2)
 			..........(3)
 	.........(4)
  		.........(5)
 		.........(6)
Order and Degree of a Differential Equation: 
The order of differential equation is the order of highest order derivative appearing in the equation.
For Example :
Orders of differential equations (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) are 1, 2, 1, 3, 2 and 2 respectively.
The degree of differential equation is the degree of the highest order derivative involved in it, when the differential coefficients are free from radicals and fractions (i.e. write differential equations as polynomial in derivatives)
For Example :
Degrees of differential equations (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) are 1, 1, 1, 4, 3 and 2 respectively.
Illustration 1:	Find the order and degree (if defined) of the following differential equations :
	(i)  		(ii)  
Solution :	(i) The given differential equation can be re-written as
	 . Hence its order is 3 and  degree 2.
	 (ii)  . Hence its order is 2 and  degree 1.
	
Formation of differential Equation:
We  know  y2 = 4ax  is a  parabola  whose  vertex  is  origin  and axis as the x-axis . If a  is a parameter, it  will represent a family  of parabola with the  vertex  at (0,  0) and  axis as  y = 0 . 
Differentiating  y2 = 4ax  	. .  (1) 
		 	. .  (2) 
From (1)  and (2), y2 = 2yx  ⇒ y =  2x 
This is a differential equation  for all  the  members  of the  family   and  it does  not  contain any  parameter  ( arbitrary constant). 
(i) 		The differential  equation of  a family  of  curves  of one  parameter  is a differential equation  of the  first  order,  obtained by  eliminating  the  parameter by differentiation. 
(ii) 		The differential equation of a family of curves of two parameter is a differential equation  of the second order, obtained by eliminating the parameter by differentiating the algebraic  equation twice. Similar procedure is used to find differential equation of a family of curves of three or more parameter. 
Example -1:	Find the differential equation of the family of curves y = Aex + Be3x for different values of A and B. 
Solution:	y = A ex + Be3x 			. . . . (1) 
	y1 = Aex + 3Be3x 			. . .  (2)    
	y2 = Aex + 9B3x 			. . .  (3)  
	Eliminating A and B  from the  above  three, we get 
	  = 0 ⇒  ex e3x   = 0
	 ⇒  3y  + 4y1 – y2 = 0 ⇒  3y + 4 
SOLUTION OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION
The general solution of a differential equation is the relation in the variables x, y obtained by integrating  (removing derivatives ) where  the  relation contains as many arbitrary constants as the  order of the  equation. The general solution of a differential equation of the  first order  contains one arbitrary constant while that of the second order contains two arbitrary constants. In the general solution, if particular values of the  arbitrary constant are put , we get  a particular solution which will give  one member of the  family of curves. 
To solve differential equation of the first order and  the  first  degree:
Simple standard form of differential equation of the first order and first degree are as follows:
(i)	 Variable Separable 
Form f(x) dx  + φ(y) dy = 0 
Method: Integrate  it i.e.,  find  ∫ f(x) dx + ∫ φ(y)dy  = c 
Example -2:	Solve   .
Solution:	Given   ⇒  
		 ⇒  
		Integrating,  we get ln y – ex =c 
 (ii) 	Reducible into Variable Separable 
Method: Sometimes differential equation  of the  first  order  cannot  be  solved  directly by  variable separation but  by  some  substitution  we can reduce  it  to a  differential equation with separable variables. 
A differential equation of the   is  solved  by  writing  ax + by + c = t 
Example -3:	Solve (x – y)2  .
Solution:	Put  z = x –y  ⇒  	⇒  
		Now  z2  ⇒  
		 ⇒ dx =  , which is in the  form of variable separable 
		Now  integrating, we get  x = z +  
		  ⇒  Solution  is x =(x – y) +  
(iii) 	Homogeneous Equation 
When   is equal to a fraction whose numerator and the denominator both are homogeneous functions of x and y of the same degree then the differential equation is said to be homogeneous equation. 
i.e.  when  , where   f(km, ky) = f(x, y) then this differential equation is said to be homogeneous differential equation . 
Method:  Put   y =  vx 
Example -4:	Solve  .
Solution:	  (homogeneous ) . Put  y = vx 
		∴   
		⇒   ,  Integrate
		C + lnx = - ln(1 –v2) 
		 ⇒ lnkx + ln(1 –v2) =0  
		⇒ kx(1- v2) = 1 ⇒ k(x2 – y2) = x . 
 (iv) 	Non-homogeneous Differential Equation 
Form  
Method: If  ,  put  x = X + h ,  y = Y + k such that a1h +b1k + c1 =  0,  a2h + b2k +c2 = 0 . In this way the equation becomes homogeneous in X, Y. then use the method for homogeneous equation. 
If  . Put a1x+b1y=v or a2x + b2y = v. The equation in the form of variable separable in x, v.
Example -5:	  .
Solution:	Here   
		Hence we put  x- y = v 
  ⇒   
		or,  1 –    ⇒   = dx or,     Integrate  
2v + ln (v +2) = x + C, Put the  value of  v 
∴ x – 2y  + ln (x – y +2) = C
 
(v) 	Linear Equation 
Form   , where P(x)  and  Q(x) are  functions  of x 
Method: Multiplying the equation by e∫P(x)dx, called integrating factor. Then the equation becomes  
Integrating   
(vi) 	Reducible into Linear Equation 
Form  R(y)  + P(x) S(y) = Q(x) , such  that    
Method:  Put  S(y) =z  then   
∴ The  equation  becomes   ,  which  is in the  linear  form 
Example -6:	 .
Solution:	 
		Multiplying  both sides by  I.F. and  integrating 
		 
		 Put   
		⇒  
		 ⇒ 2 y  
 (vii) 	Exact Differential Equations 
Mdx + Ndy = 0, where  M and N are  functions of  x and y. If   , then the  equation  is exact  and  its  solution is  given  by  ∫ Mdx + ∫ N dy  = c 
To find the solution of an exact differential equation Mdx + N dy = 0, integrate   as if y were constant. Also integrate the terms of N that do not contain x w.r.t y. Equate the sum of these integrals to a constant.
Example -7:	(x2 –ay)dx + (y2 –ax)dy = 0.
Solution:	Here M = x2 –ay	
		N = y2 –ax
		 
		  ⇒  
		∴ equation is exact 
	solution is   = c	
		  – ayx +   = c
		or x3 –3axy + y3 = 3c.
Integrating Factor: 
A factor, which when multiplied to a non exact, differential equation makes it exact, is known as integrating factor e.g. the non exact equation y dx –x dy = 0 can be made exact on multiplying by the factor  . Hence   is the integrating factor for this equation.
Notes:	
In general such a factor exist but except in certain special cases, it is likely to be difficult to determine.
The number of integrating factor for equation M dx + N dy = 0 is infinite.

So far only linear differential equation with constant coefficients of form 
a0   + a1  + ….+ an y = 0,  aI ∈ R
for  i = 0, 1, 2, …., n were considered. Now we consider the following form 
a0   + a1  + ….+ an y = X
where X is either constant or functions of x alone. 
Theorem:
If  y = f1(x) is the general solution of a0   + a1  + ….+ an y = 0 
and  y = f2(x)  is a solution of 
a0   + a1  + ….+ an y = X
Then y = f1(x) + f2(x) is the general solution of a0   + a1  + ….+ any = X 
Expression f1(x)  is known as complementary function and the expression f2(x) is known as particular integral. These are denotes by C.F.  and P.I. respectively. 
The nth derivative of y will be denoted Dny where D stands for   and n denotes the order of derivative. 
If we take Differential Equation:
  + P1 + P2  + …. + Pny = X
then we can write this differential equation in a symbolic form as 
Dny + P1Dn– 1y + P2Dn– 2y + ….+ Pny = X
(Dn + P1Dn– 1 + P2Dn– 2 + ….+ Pn)y = X
The operator Dn + P1Dn– 1 + P2Dn– 2 + ….+ Pn is denoted by f(D) so that the equation takes the form f(D)y = X 
y =  
Methods of finding P.I. :
Notes: 	
If both m1 and m2 are constants, the expressions (D – m1)(D – m2)y and (D– m2)(D – m1)y are equivalent i.e. the expression is independent of the order of operational factors. 
 
	We will explain the method with the help of following 
Example -10:  	Solve  .

		(D – 3) (D – 2)y = e3x 
		C.F.  = c1 e3x + c2e2x 
		And  P.I. =  =  =  
		= e3x   = x. e3x

		P.I. can be found by resolving   
		Into partial functions 
		 
		∴ P.I.   =  =  
		=   = x e3x –  e3x .

		C.F.  = aex + bx ex + ce3x 
		And  P.I.  =  e3x =  
		∴  y = aex + bx ex + ce3x  +  
(ii). 	To find P.I.  when X = cosax or sinax 
	f(D) y = X
	y =   sinax 
	If  f( – a2) ≠  0   then   =  
	If f(– a2) = 0 then (D2 + a2) is atleast one factor of f(D2) 
	Let f (D2) = (D2 + a2)r φ (D2) 
	Where  φ(– a2) ≠ 0 
	∴   =   =  
	when r = 1   sin ax  = – 
	Similarly If  f(– a)2 ≠ 0  then  cos ax =  cosax 
	and  
	
Example -12:	Solve  (D2 –  5D + 6)y = sin3x.
 
Solution:	(D –  2) (D – 3)y = sin3x
		C.F.  = ae2x + be3x 
		P.I.=   sin3x =  
		=   = – (5D – 3).  sin3x  =  
		∴  ae2x + be3x +  
(iii). 	To find the P.I.  when X = xm  where m ∈ N 
	f(D) y = xm 
	y =  
	we will explain the method by taking an example

		P.I.  =   x2 e3x = e3x  
		=    =  x2 
		=  x2  =  x2
		=  
		∴ a cos x + b sin x +  
(v).  	To find    where  V is a function of x 
	 
Example -15: 	Solve  (D2 + 4) y = x sin2x.

		P.I. =   =  
		=   = –  
		= –   = –   
		y = c1 cos2x + c2 sin2x –   .
