Integration of two variable function
Note: This concept idea hasn't been proven yet or maybe mathematically incorrect. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated.
Basic Knowledge of Integration and Functions
In mathematics, usually we take x as independent variable and y as dependent variable. In General, a function is written as
y=ax2+bx+c
If we differentiate the above function, we get:
dydx=2ax+b
i.e dy=(2ax+b)dx
Generally, a Integral function is written as:
f(x)=∫(2ax+b)dx
Note: There is a wrong perception that, Integration give area under function, but actually, Definite Integration give area under a given function f(x) and Indefinite Integration gives an entire family of functions with an infinite number of members.
Therefore, it is understood that:
f(x)=∫dy=∫(2ax+b)dx
So, After clearing the basic knowledge, we can see how to Integrate something like this:
∫f(x,y)dx (where both x and y are variable)
Integration of two variable function F(x,y)
Lets take an example function:
f′(x,y)=3x2+y
So, how to find: ∫(3x2+y)dx
As mentioned above, it is understood that it means:
dydx=3x2+y (and we have to find its integral)
⇒dydx-y=3x2 (Rearranging the Equation)
Now we have convert the Integral Question, into a Differential Equation.
So, we can solve this using, P,Q Factor method (What is Factor Method ?)
dydx-y=3x2
Let P=(-1) and Q=3x2
Therefore:
Integral Factor (I.F)=e∫Pdx
⇒(I.F) = e∫-1dx
⇒(I.F) = e-x
Hence our result is:
y(I.F)=∫Q(I.F)dx
⇒ye-x=∫3x2e-xdx
⇒ye-x=-3(x2e-x+2xe-x+2e-x)+C (using By Parts)
⇒ye-x+3x2e-x+6xe-x+6e-x=C (rearranging the equation)
⇒ln(e-x(y+3x2+6x+6))=lnC (taking log both the sides)
⇒-x+ln(y+3x2+6x+6)=A
Hence, f(x,y) = -x+ln(y+3x2+6x+6)=A
Fun Assignment: Differentiate the Above function, and you will get the original f′(x,y)
Nice conceptual visualisation
