Need help solving this differential equation...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2y + \frac{dy}{dx}\tan(2x) =\cos(2x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos(2x) -2y}{\tan(2x)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i integrate the right side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay some guy delete his message so that probably is confusing. I think i need to use the integration factor method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the original equation is \[\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{2}{\tan(2x)} \times y = \cos(2x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the integrating factor will be, \[\exp(\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{2}{\tan2x}dx)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is the integrating factor im looking for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\exp(\int\limits\limits_{}^{}\frac{2}{\tan2x}dx) = 2 \sin(2x)\] is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that turns the problem into \[\sin(2x)y = \int\limits_{}^{} \cos(2x)\sin(2x) dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... \[\sin(2x)y = \int\limits\limits_{}^{} \frac{\cos(2x)\sin(2x)}{\tan(2x)} dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i have to multiply everything by tan at the start.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and this is... \[\sin(2x)y = \int\limits_{}^{}\cos^2(2x) dx\] is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y'+2cotan(2x)y=\cos(2x)cotan(2x)\] \[\large y'e^{\int(2cotan(2x))dx}+2cotan(2x)e^{\int(2cotan(2x))dx}y=\cos(2x)cotan(2x)e^{\int(2cotan(2x))dx}\] \[\large (y \cdot e^{\int(2cotan(2x))dx})'=\cos(2x)cotan(2x)e^{\int(2cotan(2x))dx}\] \[\large y \cdot e^{\int(2cotan(2x))dx}=\int \cos(2x)cotan(2x)e^{\int(2cotan(2x))dx} dx \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y e^{f(x)}=\int\limits \frac{\cos^2(2x)}{\sin(2x)}e^{f(x)}dx\] Maybe use Euler's formula to make the integration nicer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe just kill myself :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not certain why this is so bloody hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did my equations help or did you know that already?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your turning 1/tan into cotan, im not certain how that helps henpen :(
