If space straight y space equals space Pe to the power of ax plus Qe to the power of bx show that
straight d to the power of 2 straight y end exponent over dx squared minus left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis dy over dx plus aby space equals 0

Solution

Given that
straight y equals Pe to the power of ax plus Qe to the power of bx
Differentiating space the space above space function space with space respect space to space straight x comma
dy over dx equals Pae to the power of ax plus Qbe to the power of bx
Differentiating space once space again comma space we space have comma
fraction numerator straight d squared straight y over denominator dx squared end fraction equals space Pa squared straight e to the power of ax plus Qb squared straight e to the power of bx
Let us now find left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis dy over dx colon
left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis dy over dx equals left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis open parentheses Pae to the power of ax plus Qbe to the power of bx close parentheses space
space rightwards double arrow space left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis dy over dx equals Pa squared straight e to the power of ax plus Qabe to the power of bx plus Pabe to the power of bx plus Qb squared straight e to the power of bx
rightwards double arrow space left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis dy over dx equals Pa squared straight e to the power of ax plus left parenthesis straight P plus straight Q right parenthesis abe to the power of bx plus Qb squared straight e to the power of bx space space space
Also we have,
aby space equals ab open parentheses Pe to the power of ax plus Qe to the power of bx close parentheses space equals space ab
Thus comma space fraction numerator straight d squared straight y over denominator dx squared end fraction minus left parenthesis straight a plus straight b right parenthesis dy over dx plus aby
equals Pa squared straight e to the power of ax plus Qb squared straight e to the power of bx minus Pa squared straight e to the power of ax minus left parenthesis straight P plus straight Q right parenthesis abe to the power of bx minus Qb squared straight e to the power of bx plus abPe to the power of ax plus abQe to the power of bx
equals 0
