This is a differential equation of order three. Its general solution will contain three arbitrary
constants. In order to find its particular solution we need three conditions [ see Example 28.21].
For solving the differential equation of order three of the form
                 d3 y
                        = f ( x ) , integrate the equation three times.

Example 28.22 A stone is dropped from the top of a tower 44.1 m high. Velocity 'v' at any
instant is given by v = 9.8 t m/s (metres per second)
If it is given that distance after one second is 4.9 m
(i)      find the distance of the stone when t = 2 seconds
(ii) value of 't' when stone hits the ground.
Solution : We are given that           v = 9.8 t
                              d
∴                                ( s ) = 9.8 t
                              dt
On integrating both sides, we get
                                   ∫ ds = ∫ 9.8tdt
or               s = 4.9t 2 + C , where C is an arbitrary constant                     .....(1)
It is given that s = 4.9 m when t = 1 second. Using this condition we get,
                  C=0
Substituting the value of C in (1), we will get
                 s = 4.9t2                                                             .....(2)
(i)     Putting t = 2 in (2), we get
                 s = 4.9 × 22                  or    s = 19.6 m
        So it is clear that the distance of the stone in 2 seconds is 19.6 m.
(ii)    Now when stone hits the ground the distance is 44.1 m. Thus, s = 44.1
        Putting s = 44.1 in (2), the following will be the outcome.
                             44.1 = 4.9 t 2

                               4.9
               Hence the stone hits the ground after 3 seconds.

               number present.

Hence the growth of bacteria is 8 times the original number at the end of 12 hours.
(b)     Now it is given that at t = 3, x = 104 and at t = 5, x = 4 × 10 4
Substituting these values in (2), we have

From (4) and (5), we get

or               k = log 4 = l o g 2
Substituting value of k in equation (4), we get

                 104 = Ce3 l o g 2       or                104 = Ce log2
or               104 = Ce log8           or               104 = 8C

Substituting t = 0 in equation (6), we will get the number of bacteria in beginning.

Since the curve is passing through the point (1,1), therefore,
substituting x = 1, y = 1 in equation (2), we get

or                         C=0

•    A differential equation is an equation involving independent variable, dependent variable
     and the derivatives of dependent variable (and differentials) with respect to independent
     variable.
•    The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative occurring in it.
•    The degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest derivative after it has
     been freed from radicals and fractions as far as the derivatives are concerned.

     occur only in the first degree and are not multiplied together is called a linear differential
     equation.

•    A general solution of a differential equation is that solution which contains as many as the
     number of arbitrary constants as the order of the differential equation.
•    A general solution becomes a particular solution when particular values of the arbitrary
     constants are determined satisfying the given conditions.
