Need help solving ordinary differential equation. Thanks!

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

\[(3y^2)y'+(y^3)=e^{-x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(3y^2)y'+(y^3)=e ^{-x}\]

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

you could try separating them sorry I need to finish this long assignment ... last problem FINALLY!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its actually a bernoulli ODE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm just getting stuck on the last few steps

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\bf\sf 3y^2 y'+y^3\quad=\quad e^{-x}\] \[\Large\bf\sf u\quad=\quad y^3,\qquad\qquad\qquad u'\quad=\quad 3y^2 y'\] Giving us:\[\Large\bf\sf u'+u\quad=\quad e^{-x}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Mmm does that look right so far? I haven't done Bernoulli in a while :P

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Then just find an integrating factor, yes? :o Oh this thread is 7hours old lol. You're probably not even here -_-

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

sorry I haven't learn Bernoulli

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is right. Sorry for taking so long to respond. I got to this point, but I ended up getting the wrong answer. :(

OpenStudy (perl):

so do you need help further?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you use integrating factor as suggested before, you get \[ u(x) =e^{-x} + C e^{-x} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Large y= \sqrt[3]{e^{-x} + C e^{-x}} \]

OpenStudy (perl):

still need help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I got it thanks
