differential & linear algebra question !!! 3AM stress!
\[2t(d^2x/dt^2) = (dx/dt)^2 \]
have to turn it into 1st order diff equation.
ISn't it quite evident - you have derivative-of-a-derivative. Sooo if u want 1-st order choose as your variable\[u = \frac{ dx }{ dt }\]
??
i see i just got that part and got up to \[\int\limits_{}^{} 1/(v^2-1) dv = \int\limits_{}^{}(1/2t) dt\]
seems Too final - can you show the intermediate stages ?
It is unclear to me where did you get the "1" in the left hand integral
@adunb8 ?
okay hold
i forgot that there was -1 at the right side
So my guidance was useful. what do you say ?
yea but the problem is im not getting my teacher's answer.. its suppose to be \[x=-t-2/cln[ct-1]+k\]
You did half the soln. you found x' - now integrate that once more. And - if you are normal human, put a medal where medal is due.
im stuck here ... not getting the answer...
i did integrated and got ln |v^2-1| = ln|2t| then cancelled each out using e^ and left with v^2-1 = 2t + C
on the left hand side you have to do partial fraction like this\[\frac{ 1 }{ \left( u-1 \right)\left( u+1 \right) }=\frac{ A }{ \left( u-1 \right) }+\frac{ B }{ \left( u+1 \right) }\]then solving for A and B and continue do integral you'll get two terms of ln
It is all small technical steps - do them with precision.
oh i see partial fraction ??
the final solution in the term of u, you'll get this\[\frac{ u+1 }{ u-1}=ct\]then de integral angain, since you've defined u = dx/dt
dx/dt + 1 / dx/dt -1
\[\int\limits_{}^{}dx=-\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ \left( 1+ct \right) }{ \left( 1-ct \right) }dt\]
It's OK for you now ??
yeah thank for the clear instruction =)
no problem sir :)
I like you @Pinguine
me to i love you both =)
