Solve (x-y)dy=ydx help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for differential equation

OpenStudy (rational):

\(\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{y}{x-y}\)

OpenStudy (rational):

\(y' = \dfrac{y}{x-y}\)

OpenStudy (rational):

sibstitute \(y = vx \implies y' = v + v'x \)

OpenStudy (rational):

the equation becomes : \(v + v'x = \dfrac{v}{1-v}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm so I plug in y=u(x)*x got du/dx = u^2/ x(1-u) how to switch it back?

OpenStudy (rational):

separate variables

OpenStudy (rational):

separate variables, integrate and solve \(v\) first

OpenStudy (rational):

in the end substitute back the \(y\) using : \(y=vx\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seperate variable and got u= (u^2 / 1-u) lnx still not seeing how you got the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rinru, you made a mistake somewhere: \[y'=\frac{y}{x-y}~~\Rightarrow~~v+xv'=\frac{vx}{x-vx}\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~v+xv'=\frac{v}{1-v}\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xv'=\frac{v}{1-v}-\frac{1-v}{1-v}\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xv'=\frac{2v-1}{1-v}\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\frac{1-v}{2v-1}dv=\frac{1}{x}~dx \]

OpenStudy (rational):

should get \(\dfrac{1-v}{v^2} dv = \dfrac{1}{x} dx\) right ? @SithsAndGiggles

OpenStudy (rational):

\(\dfrac{1-v}{v^2} dv = \dfrac{1}{x} dx\) \(\int \dfrac{1-v}{v^2} dv = \int \dfrac{1}{x} dx\) \(\dfrac{-1}{v} - \ln|v|= \ln |x| + c\)

OpenStudy (rational):

replace \(v\) by \(\dfrac{y}{x}\), and you're done.

OpenStudy (rational):

\[ y'=\frac{y}{x-y}~~\Rightarrow~~v+xv'=\frac{vx}{x-vx}\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~v+xv'=\frac{v}{1-v}\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xv'=\frac{v}{1-v}-v\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xv'=\frac{v}{1-v}-\color{red}{\frac{v(1-v)}{1-v}}\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xv'=\frac{v^2}{1-v}\\ \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh right, sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the final solution is.... -lny-x/y = C x=-(c+lny) it seem

OpenStudy (rational):

\( \ln y +\dfrac{x}{y} = C\) looks good to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyway to check it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's too many sign change with the constant variable...

OpenStudy (rational):

checking is easy : take ur final solution, \(\ln y +\dfrac{x}{y} = C \) differentiate and find out \(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\)

OpenStudy (rational):

you should get back ur differential equation
