If f and g are two real valued functions differentiable over  R  such that  f '(x) = g(x) + xf(x) and g'(x) + f (x) = xg(x). If  f (1) = 1  and  g(1) = 2, then find the value of  f 2(2) + g2(2).

Solution

Let h(x) = f 2(x) + g2(x)
      h'(x) = 2f (x) · f '(x) + 2 g(x) · g'(x)
             = 2f (x) (g(x)+xf(x))+2g(x)(f(x)+xg(x))=4x
⇒     h(x) = 2x2 + C
        h(1) = 2 + c = 3  ⇒  c = 1
   h(2) = 9
