$$\begin{gathered} {\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{y}\mathbf{\text{'}}\mathbf{\text{'}}\mathbf{\text{'}}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{xy}\mathbf{\text{'}}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{y}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{3}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{lnx}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{x}\mathbf{>}\mathbf{0}\mathbf{;} \\ \mathbf{y}\left(1\right)\mathbf{=}\mathbf{3}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{y}\mathbf{\text{'}}\left(1\right)\mathbf{=}\mathbf{3}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{y}\mathbf{\text{'}}\mathbf{\text{'}}\left(1\right)\mathbf{=}\mathbf{0}\mathbf{;} \\ {\mathbf{y}}_{\mathbf{p}}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{lnx}\mathbf{;}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\left\{x, \mathrm{xlnx}, x{\left(\mathrm{lnx}\right)}^2\right\} \end{gathered}$$

Short answer

(a) The value is$y=c_{1}x+c_{2}x\ln \left(x\right)+c_{3}x{\ln }^2\left(x\right)+\ln \left(x\right)$

(b) The value is$y=3x-x\ln \left(x\right)+x{\ln }^2\left(x\right)+\ln \left(x\right)$

Step-by-step solution

(a)Step 1: Firstly solve for  yn

The given equation is,$x^{3}y\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}+xy\text{'}-y=3-\ln x$

Solve for,$y_n$

$x^{3}y\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}+xy\text{'}-y=0$

Let,$y=x^r$

$x^3\left(x^r\right)\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}+x\left(x^r\right)\text{'}-\left(x^r\right)=0$

Solve the above equation,

$$\begin{gathered} x^{3}r\left(r-1\right)\left(r-2\right)\left(x^{r-3}\right)+xr\left(x^{r-1}\right)-x^r=0 \\ r\left(r-1\right)\left(r-2\right)x^r+r{x}^r-x^r=0 \\ \left(\left(r-1\right)\left(r^2-2r\right)+\left(r-1\right)\right)x^r=0 \\ \left(\left(r-1\right)\left(r^2-2r+1\right)\right)x^r=0 \\ {\left(r-1\right)}^3{x}^r=0 \end{gathered}$$

Now one has,

$r=1,1,1$

Then,$y_n=c_{1}x+c_{2}x\ln \left(x\right)+c_{3}x{\ln }^2\left(x\right)$

Step 2:A general solution to the nonhomogeneous equation.

$$\begin{gathered} y=y_n+y_p \\ y=c_{1}x+c_{2}x\ln \left(x\right)+c_{3}x{\ln }^2\left(x\right)+\ln \left(x\right) \end{gathered}$$

(b)Step 3:Solve for given initial conditions.

Given initial conditions are,$y\left(1\right)=3, y\text{'}\left(1\right)=3, y\text{'}\text{'}\left(1\right)=0;$

Firstly, solve for,$y\left(1\right)=3$

One has,$y=c_{1}x+c_{2}x\ln \left(x\right)+c_{3}x{\ln }^2\left(x\right)+\ln \left(x\right)$

Substitute$y\left(1\right)=3$ in the above equation,

$$\begin{gathered} 3=c_1\left(1\right)+c_2\left(1\right)\ln \left(1\right)+c_3\left(1\right){\ln }^2\left(1\right)+\ln \left(1\right) \\ 3=c_1+c_2\left(0\right)+c_3\left(0\right)+0 \\ {c}_1=3 \end{gathered}$$

Now, solve for y1(1)=3,

One has,$y\text{'}=c_1+c_2\left[1+\ln \left(x\right)\right]+c_3\left[\frac{x2\ln \left(x\right)}{x}+{\ln }^2\left(x\right)\right]+\frac{1}{x}$

Substitute$y\text{'}\left(1\right)=3$ in the above equation,

$$\begin{gathered} 3=c_1+c_2\left[1+\ln \left(1\right)\right]+c_3\left[\frac{\left(1\right)2\ln \left(1\right)}{1}+{\ln }^2\left(1\right)\right]+\frac{1}{1} \\ 3=c_1+c_2\left[1\right]+c_3\left[0+0\right]+1 \\ 3=c_1+c_2+1 \\ {c}_1+c_2=2 \end{gathered}$$

Substitute$c_1=3$ in the above equation,

$$\begin{gathered} 3+c_2=2 \\ {c}_2=-1 \end{gathered}$$

Now, solve for y''(1)=0,

One has,$y\text{'}\text{'}=c_2\left[\frac{1}{x}\right]+c_3\left[\frac{2}{x}+\frac{2\ln \left(x\right)}{x}\right]-\frac{1}{x^2}$

Substitute$y\text{'}\text{'}\left(1\right)=0$ in the above equation,

$$\begin{gathered} 0=c_2\left[\frac{1}{1}\right]+c_3\left[\frac{2}{1}+\frac{2\ln \left(1\right)}{1}\right]-\frac{1}{{\left(1\right)}^2} \\ 0=c_2+c_3\left[2\right]-1 \\ {c}_2+2c_3=1 \end{gathered}$$

Substitute$c_2=-1$ in the above equation,

$$\begin{gathered} -1+2c_3=1 \\ 2c_3=2 \\ {c}_3=1 \end{gathered}$$

conclusion, the solution that satisfies the specified initial condition.

Substitute the value of $c_1, c_2$and $c_3$in the general solution.
