Solve the differential equation by using substitution for homogeneous equations. see attachment.

I swear I'm sooo close to getting x = (y-x)ln(y-x)+c

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

just needs rearranging... maybe shifting the 1/y-x to the right...?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

@wio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have this differential equation?: \[2\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2y-x}{y}\]

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

uumm let me recheck

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

it's y ' = 2y-x ------------ y

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

sorry lagging on the real whiteboard on here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y'=\frac{2y-x}{y}\] ???

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yessssss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well...I can get: \[y'=2-\frac{x}{y}\] \[y'=2-v\] \[v=\frac{x}{y}\rightarrow y=\frac{x}{v}\rightarrow y'=\frac{1}{v}+v'x\] \[\frac{1}{v}+\frac{dv}{dx}x=2-v\] \[\frac{1}{vx}+\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{2-v}{x}\] \[\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{2}{x}-\frac{v}{x}-\frac{1}{vx}\] \[\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{1}{x}\left(2-v-\frac{1}{v}\right)\] \[\frac{dv}{\left(2-v-\frac{1}{v}\right)}=\frac{dx}{x}\] \[\int{\frac{1}{2-v-\frac{1}{v}}dv=\int{\frac{1}{x}}dx}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int{\frac{1}{\frac{2v-v^2-1}{v}}}=ln(x)+c_1\]

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

wait a sec...I did that earlier, but I got a partial fraction that didn't go anywhere

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yeah I remember doing it that way...a sign must have messed it up which was why my A's and B's canceled

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int{\frac{v}{-v^2+2v-1}}dv=ln(x)+c_1\] \[\int{\frac{v}{-(v-1)^2}}dv=ln(x)+c_1\] Just take your time integrating that \[-\left(\frac{1}{1-v}+ln(v-1)\right)=ln(x)+c_1\] \[-\left(\frac{1}{1-\frac{x}{y}}+ln\left(\frac{x}{y}-1\right)\right)=ln(x)+c_1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{-y}{y-x}-[ln(x-y)-ln(y)]=ln(x)+c_1\] ...I think

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

damn manipulation and this half a century old textbook....ughhhhhhhh it's making me look dumb!!!!!

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

hmmm split the fraction up instead of really using partial fractions....interesting....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To finish: \[\eqalign{ &\frac{-y}{y-x}-[ln(x-y)-ln(y)]=ln(x)+c_1 \\ &\frac{-y}{y-x}+ln(y)-ln(x-y)=ln(x)+c_1 \\ &\ln\left(\frac{e^{\frac{-y}{y-x}}\times y}{x(x-y)}\right)=c_1 \\ &\frac{e^{\frac{-y}{y-x}}\times y}{x(x-y)}=e^{c_1} }\]
