Solve the differential equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ dy }{ dx } = \frac{ 1 }{ x \cos y + \sin 2y }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i smell the stench of that "uv sub" thingy

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Guess so.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Well... You know the identity got sin (2y) at least.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Tried solving it... I am unable to separate the x and the y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah,same problem. Not understanding what method to use.

OpenStudy (callisto):

A stupid idea: \[\frac{ dy }{ dx } = \frac{ 1 }{ x \cos y + \sin 2y }\]\[\frac{ dx }{ dy } = x \cos y + \sin 2y\]Solve this and you get x = (something in y), then change y into the subject.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got the idea finally, Invert it first,\[\frac{ dx }{ dy } = x \cos y + \sin 2y \] Now use the concept of linear equation. But interchanging y and x. \[\frac{ dx }{dy } +x P(y) = Q(y)\] Use integrating factor,\[e ^{\int\limits_{}^{}P(y)dy}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Callisto , not a stupid idea. :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Wow never even thought of that...
