Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The function y=1kx3y=\frac{1}{k x^{3}} is a solution to the differential equation dydx=13xy\frac{d y}{d x}=13 x^{} y^{}. . We need to find the value of kk that makes this true.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the derivative of y=1kxy=\frac{1}{k x^{}}.
dydx=kx4\frac{d y}{d x} = -\frac{}{k x^{4}}

STEP 3

Now, we can substitute y=1kx3y=\frac{1}{k x^{3}} and dydx=3kx\frac{d y}{d x} = -\frac{3}{k x^{}} into the differential equation dydx=13x2y2\frac{d y}{d x}=13 x^{2} y^{2}.
3kx=13x2(1kx3)2-\frac{3}{k x^{}} =13 x^{2} \left(\frac{1}{k x^{3}}\right)^{2}

STEP 4

implify the equation.
3kx4=13(1k2x6)-\frac{3}{k x^{4}} =13 \left(\frac{1}{k^{2} x^{6}}\right)

STEP 5

Multiply both sides by k2x4-k^{2} x^{4} to get rid of the fractions.
3k=13x23k =13 x^{2}

STEP 6

Since the equation should hold for all xx, we can choose a convenient value for xx. Let's choose x=1x=1.
3k=133k =13

STEP 7

olve for kk.
k=133k = \frac{13}{3}

STEP 8

Round the value of kk to the nearest tenth.
k4.3k \approx4.3The value of kk for which y=1kx3y=\frac{1}{k x^{3}} is a solution to the differential equation dydx=13x2y2\frac{d y}{d x}=13 x^{2} y^{2} is approximately4.3.
