(1-x^2)y'-2xy^2=xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve this diff eq.?

OpenStudy (gg):

yes :) can you?

OpenStudy (gg):

I did this: \[(1-x ^{2})y'-2xy ^{2}=xy\] \[(1-x ^{2})y'=2xy ^{2}+xy\] I divided this by x and got \[(x ^{-1}-x)y'=2y ^{2}+y\] and this is the type which separates variables. Is this ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but why you don't change y'=1 why do you need it like y' ??

OpenStudy (gg):

y'=dy/dx

OpenStudy (gg):

why y'=1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind...

OpenStudy (gg):

is this ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh... :@:@ ... I don't know , let me grab a paper , latex sucks !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

... I'm not sure about this, but if you divided by x then why y' isn't \[\Large \frac{y\;'}{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know... it's multiply , Leave it ... seems right to me !.....

OpenStudy (gg):

because \[(1-x ^{2})y'/x=[(1-x ^{2})/x]y'=(1/x-x)y'\]

OpenStudy (gg):

ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\LARGE (1-x^2)y'=2xy^2+xy\] divided by X... \[\LARGE \frac{(1-x^2)y'}{x}=\frac{2xy^2+xy}{x}\] \[\LARGE \left(\frac{1}{x}-\frac{x^2}{x}\right) \cdot y'=\frac{2xy^2}{x}+\frac{xy}{x}\] \[\LARGE \left(x^{-1}-x\right) \cdot y'=2y^2+y\] that's correct... well done !
