Answer:

To solve the Bernoulli equation t^2y' + 9ty − y^3 = 0, we use the substitution v = y^(1−2) = y^−1.

Differentiating v with respect to t, we get:

dv/dt = −y^−2 dy/dt

Using the chain rule, we have:

dy/dt = −y^2 dv/dt

Substituting y^−1 for v and −y^2 dv/dt for dy/dt, we get:

t^2 (−y^2 dv/dt) + 9t (1/y) y^2 − (1/v)^3 = 0

Simplifying and multiplying through by v^3, we get:

−t^2v^3 dv/dt − 9tv^2 + 1 = 0

This is now a separable differential equation. We can move the dv term to the left and the t term to the right, and then integrate both sides:

−v^−3 dv = 9t^−1 dt

Integrating both sides, we get:

v^−2/−2 = 9 ln|t| + C

Substituting v = y^−1, we get:

y^2/2 = (−1/2C) − 9 ln|t|

where C is the constant of integration.

Therefore, the solution to the given Bernoulli equation is:

y = [2/(−1/2C − 18 ln|t|)]^(1/2)
