if, $y=lnleft(frac{x}{1-x}right)$ prove $x^3frac{d^2y}{dx^2}= left(xfrac{dy}{dx}-yright)^2$

If $y=lnleft(frac{x}{1-x}right)$, prove



$x^3frac{d^2y}{dx^2}= left(xfrac{dy}{dx}-yright)^2$



My Try



I was able to differentiate this expression twice without a truoble, but I'm having difficulty in obtaining 'y' in the second derivative expression. Please help.

          This is an exercise showing your given function satisfies the given differential equation!



          According to your equation, we need $frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ and $frac{dy}{dx}$: $$frac{dy}{dx}=left(lnleft(frac{x}{1-x}right)right)^{'}=frac{1}{frac{x}{1-x}}cdotleft(frac{x}{1-x}right)^{'
          }=frac{1-x}{x}cdotfrac{(1-x)-x(-1)}{(1-x)^2}=frac{1}{x(1-x)}=frac{1}{x}-frac{1}{x-1}$$
          $$frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=left(frac{1}{x}-frac{1}{x-1}right)^{'}=-frac{1}{x^2}+frac{1}{(x-1)^2}$$



          Plugging all of this into $x^3cdotfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=left(xfrac{dy}{dx}-yright)^2$: $$x^3left(-frac{1}{x^2}+frac{1}{(x-1)^2}right)=^?left(xleft(frac{1}{x}-frac{1}{x-1}right)-lnleft(frac{x}{1-x}right)right)^2$$ $$-x+frac{x^3}{(x-1)^2}=^?left(1-frac{x}{x-1}-lnleft(frac{x}{1-x}right)right)^2$$



          However the above relation can't be true since a rational function and polynomial are on the left while a logarithm is on the RHS.

            $$y=ln x-ln(1-x),$$
            and so
            $$y'=frac 1x+frac{1}{1-x},,,,,y''=-frac{1}{x^2}+frac{1}{(1-x)^2}.$$
            Let $x=1/2$. Then it is easy to see that the LHS is
            $$x^3 y''=0$$
            but the RHS is
            $$(xy'-y)^2=left(frac 12times 4-0right)^2=4.$$
