Find the particular solution for 2x (dy/dx)-ln x^2 that satisfies the initial condition y(1) = 2. Explain your steps.
\[2x \frac{ dy }{ dx }-\ln x ^{2}\] equation looks like that
separation of variables
ok i need help with the whole problem
sorry was afk...
\(\large 2x \frac{ dy }{ dx }-\ln x^{2}\) \(\large 2x \frac{ dy }{ dx } = \ln x^{2}\) \(\large 2 ~dy = \frac{\ln x^{2}}{x}dx \)
Integrate both sides
\(\large \int 2 ~dy = \int \frac{\ln x^{2}}{x}dx \)
evaluate
ok thank you!
u sure.. u can manage the rest ha ? :)
integrating right side can be tricky... u need to use "u sub"
no i cant hahah
\(\large \int 2 ~dy = \int \frac{\ln x^{2}}{x}dx \) \(\large 2\int ~dy = \int \frac{2\ln x}{x}dx \) \(\large 2y = 2\int \frac{\ln x}{x}dx \)
is that it?
substitute \(\ln x = t\) \(\frac{1}{x} dx = dt\) right side beocmes : \(\large 2\int t~ dt \) \(\large 2 \frac{t^2}{2} + C \) \(\large t^2+ C \) \(\large (\ln x)^2+ C \)
plug that in right hand side
\(\large 2y = (\ln x)^2 + C\)
you need to plugin the initial condition (1, 2) and solve \(C\) : \(\large 2*2 = (\ln 1)^2 + C \implies C = 4\)
So, the solution is : \(\large 2y = (\ln x)^2 + 4\)
thank you so much for your help! This'll definitely help me with similar problems
np :) good luck !
i made a mistake earlier
nvm, it is correct :)
