last one!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you happen to know the integrating factor method?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
unless it has a different name, no.
OpenStudy (zarkon):
this is a separable diffeq...that is easy to integrate
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so far i'm at
\[\frac{ln(y)}{y}dy=\frac{t}{3}dt\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):
yep
OpenStudy (anonymous):
zarkon is right, use u substitution on ln(y)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ln(y)^2}{2}=\frac{t^2}{6}\]
OpenStudy (zarkon):
+c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ty

awesome :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[ln(2y)=\frac{t^2}{3}+C\]
OpenStudy (zarkon):
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
edit: \[2ln(y)\]
OpenStudy (zarkon):
no

only if it was \[\ln(y^2)=2\ln(y)\]
but it is not
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ah
OpenStudy (zarkon):
just take the sqrt of both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[ln(y)=(sqrt{\frac{t^2}{3}+C})\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sqrt syntax?

OpenStudy (zarkon):
\sqrt{}
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is getting harder and harder to type lol
\[y = e^{\sqrt{\frac{t^2}{3}+C}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now you see why i like to write it out on paper lolol
OpenStudy (zarkon):
lol

lol!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hes a catch. The general solution is different if y is initially greater than or less than 1. what does that mean?
OpenStudy (zarkon):
when you took the sqrt...you introduced two solution + and -
so it was possible the ln was negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it pos/neg on the sqrt?
OpenStudy (zarkon):
yes..depending on the initial condition
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
bingo.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol!

Thanks guys! good night.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lates :P
