linear algebra & differential equation i want to know how he did this part..

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yep

OpenStudy (adunb8):

OpenStudy (adunb8):

the part y^2-x = +c3x^-2y how did he do this?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

to get that line from the line previous , multiplication my y has occurred

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he just rewrote \[C _{3} /2 \] as C

OpenStudy (adunb8):

oh did he multipy everything by y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that what you're asking?

OpenStudy (adunb8):

im asking the part where y-xy^-1 = c3x^-2 and on the next part it becomes y^2-x = +c3x^-2y

OpenStudy (adunb8):

and how he got it to that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're asking about completing the square...

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[y-xy^{-1} = c_3x^{-2}\] multiplying both sides by y \[yy-xy^{-1}y = c_3x^{-2}y\] \[y^2-x = +c_3x^{-2}y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he completed the square on the LHS by adding the necessary term to both sides

OpenStudy (adunb8):

thanks wow =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure:)

OpenStudy (adunb8):

how did he do y^2-c3x^-2y+(c3x^-2/2)^2 = x + (c3^2x^-4/4)???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(c3x^-2/2)^2 = (c3^2x^-4/4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he left it 'unexpanded' on the LHS so you could follow why he added that particular term (I suppose)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he was being nice:)

OpenStudy (adunb8):

oh isee wow okay let me try out thanks =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure!
