Tricky Separable Equation dx/dt-lnx=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ dx }{ dt }-\ln x=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there isn't even a Y in the equation! this problem requires black magic

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

there is x and t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There doesn't have to be a \(y\), \(x\) is given as the dependent variable, and \(t\) the independent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't suppose it helps to notice that it's separable?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

ohhh one of those different variable problems

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

like the y could be s t m k but the process is still the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay gotcha sorry guys, math is a second language to me, first semester back taking DE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dx/dt=lnx + x and integrate both sides?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

errr no ._.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gomenasai

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dx/(lnx + x) = dt Now integrate. But I don't expect that'll yield any results. Maybe integration by parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is, if you want a solution in closed form.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

sorry long night for me xx.xx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just need the implicit solution

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

but it is a separable equation.... and after you do that integrate both sides....

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

implicit would be some thing like dsfjkslfsdkjdsaf = C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please assist with the integration by parts if possible, my math is kind of iffy

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

udv = uv - integral symbol (duv) we need to find the u du v dv in this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welll....

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

-_- don't be pushy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me 100000 seconds i will work it out on paper rarity.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

use wolfram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that IS FORBIDDEN in the math kingdom, that my DE prof rules in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xt/(x+lnx)+c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this isn't right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think my prof gave the class an unanswerable question
