Solve (x-y)dx+xdy=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=ux dy=udu+xdx dx=1 so dy=udu+xdx I try to substitute. Is it ok if I leave out the dx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=ux dy=udu+xdx dx=1 so dy=udu+x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to integrate no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What topic of the course is this from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

homogeneous substitution

myininaya (myininaya):

i got y=-xlnx+xC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-ux)dx+x(udu+x)=0 xdx-uxdx+xudu+x^2=0 work correct so far?

myininaya (myininaya):

where the C above is a constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tell me myininaya if my work is correct

myininaya (myininaya):

myininaya (myininaya):

i dont know the way you are doing it im sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k. ty.

myininaya (myininaya):

but i posted above how i got my answer if that helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please visit site orlandoicc.org

why do you multiply by v?

myininaya (myininaya):

i multiply by v (i choose this v such that we have vy'+v'y=(yv)')

myininaya (myininaya):

if we can write the differential equation in this form y'+p(x)y=q(x) then we can multiply by v such that we have vy'+vpy=vq but we want this v so that v'=vp so we can write the next step as (vy)'=vq

myininaya (myininaya):

v'=pv dv/dx=pv 1/v dv=p dx lnv=p dx so we have v=e^(int p dx)

myininaya (myininaya):

so we multiply whatever that v is on both sides of the equation then we can write the (vy)'=vq integrate both sides vy=int(vq)+C solve for y y=1/v*int(vq) +C/v
