Solve this DE: ydx-4(x+y^6)dy=0
the chapter it is in is linear equations but i can't seem to figure out how
i thought in order to do this you had to set it up as y'+p(x)y=g(x) however this is p(x,y)
the only ways up to this point were seperation of variables and linear so....
jim do you see a possible way?
would this be like an implicit solution?
\[e^{\int{}{}\frac{1}{-4(x+y^6)}dx} \]
in which you'd make u=-4(x+y^6)=-4x-4y^6 du=-4dx du/-4=dx?
i don't believe there was an implicit example in the book but that's the only way i can think =/
this was in linear equations sooo i have to write it sa y' +p(x)y=g(x)=0 \[ydx-4(x+y^6)dy=0\] divide by dx \[y-4(x+y^6)y'=0\] divide both by -4(x+y^6) \[\frac{1}{-4(x+y^6)}y+y'=0=y'+\frac{1}{-4(x+y^6)}y\]
seems i've stumped everyone .....
I think i might have figured it out
if i divide by dy and then distribute out
i get \[y\frac{dx}{dy}-4x-4y^6=0\] add 4y^6 \[y\frac{dx}{dy}-4x=4y^6\] divide by y \[\frac{dx}{dy}-\frac{1}{y}x=4y^5\]
am ion the right track by finding the reciprical
and this answer would be implicit to the solution y'
because this equation is linear to the variable y not x x'+p(y)x=g(y)
i mean it's linear to the variable x not y
\[\frac{y\cdot dx - x\cdot dy}{y}=4y^5dy \implies\frac{y\cdot d(x) - x\cdot d(y)}{y^2}=4y^4dy \]\[\implies d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) = d\left(\frac{4y^5}{5}\right)\implies \frac{x}{y}= \frac{4y^5}{5} + C\]
Am I right?
not even close
wait let me check
because you wrote the wrong equation :/ check your last post. forgot to carry the four.
it's gotta be linear in aspect to x so i think i have it rightly situated
answer is \[x=2y^6+cy^4\]
try solving for dx/dy instead ..
solved it and got it right i got a new question with no answer tho so
