ODE's Can someone please check to see if i have made any mistakes

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looks perfect to me. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are second ones non-linear???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean to say 1st ones b part.....

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

is this one (d)\[\frac{\text dy}{\text dx}=x\sec x\] linear in x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no , i am talking about (b)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya (d) is linear......

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

(b) is nonlinear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b is not because the derivatives are to the power n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as far as i know a linear differential equation is one in which the required variable and its derivatives are not multiplied together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about e?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like if y (dy/dx) was present,then it could be non linear

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

is 1.e) linear in x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

non linear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it's non linear i was just saying it could be classified as a bernoulli order one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in it ,dependent variable y is multiplied with its derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bernoulli nonlinear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you divide it by \[\frac{dy}{dx}+0y=xy^{-1}\] bernoulli's equation is \[y'+p(x)=q(x)y^n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my teacher is less into how to classify as much as how to solve each one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was so mad i messed up on my test -.- so i had something like this \[c_1x^0+2c_2x^0+\sum f(x)\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

(e)\[y\frac{\text dy}{\text dx}=x\]\[\frac{\text dy}{\text dx}=xy^{-1}\]\[\text{1st order, 1st degree, nonlinear Bernoulli ODE } y(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the sum reccurence was only for values c2 and above

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

oh i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i needed two linear solutions and i took the c_2 recurrence and multiplied by x... when in reality i should have had y=1 and y = 2+sum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the linear solutions would be \[c_1=1,c_2=0\] but the sum only pulled out the values with c_2 which = 0 so you get \[y=1x^0=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gahh fail me lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the other would be \[c_2=1,c_1=0\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

have i made all the corrections?
