Question: p2x + q2y= z solve by charpit method.
1. **State the problem:** Solve the first-order partial differential equation $$p2x + q2y = z$$ using Charpit's method, where $$p = \frac{\partial z}{\partial x}$$ and $$q = \frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$$. 2. **Recall Charpit's method:** For a PDE of the form $$F(x,y,z,p,q) = 0$$, Charpit's equations are: $$\frac{dx}{F_p} = \frac{dy}{F_q} = \frac{dz}{pF_p + qF_q} = -\frac{dp}{F_x + pF_z} = -\frac{dq}{F_y + qF_z}$$ where subscripts denote partial derivatives. 3. **Identify $$F$$ and its derivatives:** Given $$F = p2x + q2y - z = 0$$. Calculate partial derivatives: - $$F_p = 2x$$ - $$F_q = 2y$$ - $$F_z = -1$$ - $$F_x = 2p$$ - $$F_y = 2q$$ 4. **Write Charpit's system:** $$\frac{dx}{2x} = \frac{dy}{2y} = \frac{dz}{p(2x) + q(2y)} = -\frac{dp}{2p - p} = -\frac{dq}{2q - q}$$ Simplify denominators in $$dp$$ and $$dq$$ terms: - $$F_x + pF_z = 2p + p(-1) = 2p - p = p$$ - $$F_y + qF_z = 2q + q(-1) = 2q - q = q$$ So, $$\frac{dx}{2x} = \frac{dy}{2y} = \frac{dz}{2xp + 2yq} = -\frac{dp}{p} = -\frac{dq}{q}$$ 5. **Solve the first equality:** $$\frac{dx}{2x} = \frac{dy}{2y}$$ Cross-multiplied: $$\frac{dx}{x} = \frac{dy}{y}$$ Integrate both sides: $$\ln|x| = \ln|y| + C_1$$ Or equivalently: $$\frac{y}{x} = C_2$$ 6. **Solve the second equality:** $$-\frac{dp}{p} = -\frac{dq}{q}$$ Simplify: $$\frac{dp}{p} = \frac{dq}{q}$$ Integrate: $$\ln|p| = \ln|q| + C_3$$ Or: $$\frac{p}{q} = C_4$$ 7. **Solve the third equality:** $$\frac{dx}{2x} = -\frac{dp}{p}$$ Rewrite: $$\frac{dx}{2x} = -\frac{dp}{p}$$ Cross-multiplied: $$\frac{dx}{x} = -2 \frac{dp}{p}$$ Integrate: $$\ln|x| = -2 \ln|p| + C_5$$ Rewrite: $$\ln|x| + 2 \ln|p| = C_5$$ $$\ln|x p^2| = C_5$$ Or: $$x p^2 = C_6$$ 8. **Similarly, solve:** $$\frac{dy}{2y} = -\frac{dq}{q}$$ Gives: $$y q^2 = C_7$$ 9. **Summary of integrals:** - $$\frac{y}{x} = k_1$$ - $$\frac{p}{q} = k_2$$ - $$x p^2 = k_3$$ - $$y q^2 = k_4$$ 10. **Use these to find the general solution:** Recall $$p = \frac{\partial z}{\partial x}$$ and $$q = \frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$$. From $$\frac{p}{q} = k_2$$, write $$p = k_2 q$$. From $$x p^2 = k_3$$ and $$y q^2 = k_4$$, substitute $$p = k_2 q$$: $$x (k_2 q)^2 = k_3 \Rightarrow x k_2^2 q^2 = k_3$$ But $$y q^2 = k_4$$, so: $$q^2 = \frac{k_4}{y}$$ Substitute back: $$x k_2^2 \frac{k_4}{y} = k_3 \Rightarrow k_2^2 = \frac{k_3 y}{k_4 x}$$ 11. **The solution involves implicit relations between $$x,y,z$$ and constants.** **Final answer:** The general solution to $$p2x + q2y = z$$ by Charpit's method is implicitly given by the relations: $$\frac{y}{x} = C_1, \quad \frac{p}{q} = C_2, \quad x p^2 = C_3, \quad y q^2 = C_4$$ where $$p = \frac{\partial z}{\partial x}$$ and $$q = \frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$$, and $$C_1, C_2, C_3, C_4$$ are constants determined by initial/boundary conditions.
