Check my answer(Calculus)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My answer is the one on the bottom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to use the integrating factor method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My answer is wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[e^( \int\limits \tan \Theta d \theta) = e^(-\ln \cos \theta) = 1/\cos \theta =( the integrating factor) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it seems to be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I went: \[(\sin \Theta * dr/d \Theta + \cos \Theta * r)/ \sin \theta = \tan \theta /\sin \theta\] --> \[dr/d \theta + \cot \theta * r = \sec \theta\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[r/\cos \theta = \int\limits \tan \theta /\cos \theta d \theta \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the integrating factor is sin theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[r/\sin \theta = \int\limits \tan \theta /\sin \theta d \theta =\int\limits 1/\cos \theta d \theta = \ln|\sec \theta + \tan| + C \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[r= (\ln|\sec \theta+ \tan| + C)/\sin \theta\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and we are done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you go from r * cos0 to r/cos0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start from were i have rsin0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The original equation had cos0 *r, and to remove the sine from dr/d0, we divide everything by sin0 right? So then you would get cos0/sin0 * r, which would be cot0 * r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i made a mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u'll get a integrating factor of sinx right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then rsinO= int sinO * tanO dO ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so from the integrating factor I went: sin0(dr/d0 + cot0 * r) = tan0 took hte integral sin0 * r = -ln(cos0) + c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the int sinO*tanO dO= -Log[Cos[O/2] - Sin[O/2]] + Log[Cos[O/2] + Sin[O/2]] - Sin[O]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't you divide to get r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rsinO= int sinO*tanO dO= -Log[Cos[O/2] - Sin[O/2]] + Log[Cos[O/2] + Sin[O/2]] - Sin[O]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now r = (int sinO*tanO dO= -Log[Cos[O/2] - Sin[O/2]] + Log[Cos[O/2] + Sin[O/2]] - Sin[O])/sinO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry its so drummbled

okay, thanks!
