[blocks in formation]

The integral of which is

u = (ht + kx)" F (§) + (ht + kx)" ƒ (§),

m and n being the roots of

m (m − 1) (h + ka)2 = C.

C may be a quasi-constant.

Ex. 12. To integrate diu – «.du=0.

This falls under the general form considered in Art. 50, Ex. 3. We here assume t1=7, and change the independent from t to T.

[The rule for determining in equations of this form what power of t is to be assumed for 7 is this. The power of t in the question is t, take the square root of this (=t2) and integrate this (=). This is the value of T. (If the form of t in the question had been t→, its square root would be t1, and .. 7 = log t.)]

Substituting F(§)+TF, (§) in equation (1) for u we find F()=cF'(E). Similarly f (§') = — cƒ' (§').

For t'd write de (de − 1), (Art. 42, 5);

Diminish the symbolic factorials by A (Art. 45);

.. (de−2.A) (de −1). uta + ct2. uta = 0,

or, writing v for uta,

(d. — 24) (d。 — 1) v + cť v = 0.

We have now to increase the first of the factorials by nk (that is, by 24, for k = 2, and n =- A) to reduce them to the requisite form (Art. 44). We must therefore assume (Art. 49)

(t2do) ̄1. vt-21 = (t ̃2)−a. wt-24 = w ;

.. de (de − 1) w + cť3w = 0 ;

:. f'diw+ctw = 0;

.. di̟ w + cw=0.

The integral of this equation is known: and u will be known from the equations

u=vť1, and v = t2a (t2d ̧)1 w = 1oa (t ̄1d1)1w.

For d in this example we may write Dt, and c may be a quasi-constant: if d be used, then c may be a function of dx, dy,....

which falls under the last example. We may write D, for dt, and a quasi-constant for A.

Now assume u = vtm, and put m (m − 1) = 2, which gives

The supernumerary constants are to be determined by substituting this result in equation (1), (see Ex. 4);
