Consider differential equation

OpenStudy (aravindg):

\[\large y^2dx+(x-\dfrac{1}{y})dy=0\] If y(1)=1 Then x=?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

\[y^2dx+xdy-\frac1ydy=0\]

OpenStudy (aravindg):

What I did is replace y bye 1 and took all x terms to one side and y to other. Then integrated. But I am not getting the answer.

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

I think the y(1)=1 is to be considered after solving for y for solving for the constant?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Okay so how do I proceed?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Doesn't exist (uses newly-defined function W(x))

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Then how will I find x?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

I mean the answer uses a newly-defined function, so it doesn't exist

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Could you please double-check your question for any error?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Yes it is correct.

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

hmm... but wolfram can't be wrong...

its a first order linear equation, x(y) is the function

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large y^2dx+(x-\dfrac{1}{y})dy=0\) \(\large \frac{dx}{dy}+\left(\frac{1}{y^2}\right)x = \dfrac{1}{y^3}=0\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you can find IF and solve x

OpenStudy (aravindg):

How do we understand that it is first order linear equation?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

standard form of linear equaiton : \((y ~terms )\times x' + (y~terms)\times x = (y~terms) \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it looks like a standard form of linear equation in cartesian coordinates : \(a x_1 + b x_2 = c\)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Thanks :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

initial condition must be x(1) = 1 right ? i feel it cannot be y(1) = 1 ??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

No. It is given y(1)=1

OpenStudy (aravindg):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that must be a typo then, maybe double confirm wid whoever gave it agian... IF method gives u a function "x(y)", but im not sure how u will be able to find the constant wid the info y(1) = 1

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Then I shall take it as a typo.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

solution is \(x(y) = c~ e^{\frac{1}{y}} + \frac{1}{y} + 1\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets think a bit before we conclude maybe... a

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(x(y) = c~ e^{\frac{1}{y}} + \frac{1}{y} + 1 \) \(y(1) = 1\) we need to find \(c\)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Those are the options. C looks like the answer we are looking for.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ahh its a typo, x(1) = 1 is the initial condition plugging (1, 1) gives c = -1/e... that matches wid option C hope we arent missing anthing hmm...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we're not thinking actually :/ (1, 1) exists both on a function and its inverse... so, if \(y(1) = 1 \iff y^{-1}(1) = x(1) = 1 \) question is perfectly fine :)
