Question

Solve
(xy^4+y)dx - xdy=0

Answer 1

looks like seperable diff equation. can add xdy to both sides and integrate both sides

Answer 2

wont work here...

Answer 3

well sorry, that was my first instinct. I haven't done any differential equations in a while. will have to wait on someone smarter than me.

Answer 4

no prob..

Answer 5

separation of variables?

Answer 6

this is not an exact equation so you have to transform the variables to make it an exact equation so it is solvable

Answer 7

not sure how to do that though yet

Answer 8

seems a bit scary to me...

Answer 9

same here. looked easier when I thought it was seperable lol

Answer 10

ahh this is a Bernoulli diff equ, or you can put it in that form

\[\rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{y}{x} = y^{4}\]

Answer 11

lemme try

Answer 12

thanks for the help.... (:

Answer 13

yw you get the solution
