Dy/dx=xlny. Y(1)=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use seperation of variables first..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dy/ln(y)=xDx

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh yeah...cross multiplied wrong srry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got x^2/2+c but not sure of dy/lny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{a}^{b} \frac{ 1 }{ \ln(y) } = \int\limits_{a}^{b} x dx\]

OpenStudy (eyust707):

\[\int\limits\limits_{}^{} \frac{ dy }{ \ln(y) } = \int\limits\limits_{}^{} x dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Help with left side

OpenStudy (eyust707):

I'm not really sure....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That should be ln[ln(y)]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then raise both sides by "e" the natural number to remove the natural log.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then again to solve for "y"

OpenStudy (eyust707):

ahhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is your anser in teh book: \[y=e^{ce^{x^{2}/2}}\]

OpenStudy (eyust707):

I think they want a particular solution using the initial value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then I am very wrong..

OpenStudy (eyust707):

If what you wrote is correct then all you would have to do is change y to 1 and x to 1 then solve for c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If \[y=e^{ce^{x^{2}/2}}\] then solving for y(1)=1 you get\[1=e^{ce^{1/2}}\] and by taking the natural log of both sides you get: \[\ln(1) = ce^{1/2}\] and then \[0=ce^{1/2}\] with c=0. Then you can see that \[y=1\] as stated.
