help with diff eqns

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y ^{2}y'+2xy ^{3}=6x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put \[y^3=t,3 y^2\frac{ dy }{ dx }=\frac{ dt }{ dx },y^2\frac{ dy }{ dx }=\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\frac{ dt }{ dx }\] \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\frac{ dt }{ dx }+3xt=6x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correction write 2xt in place of 3xt \[\frac{ dt }{ dx }+6xt=18x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[I.F=e ^{\int\limits6x dx}=e ^{\frac{ 6x^2 }{ 2 }}=e ^{3x^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c.s is \[t.e ^{3 x^2}=\int\limits (18x)e ^{3x^2}dx+c\] put \[3 x^2=z,6 x ~dx=dz\] complete it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gimme a few min please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, im not following

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=\[3e ^{3x ^{2}}\] ?

ok I'm not the best with DE, but I'll give it a shot

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what surjithayer did was say let y^3 = t to replace something complicated with something simpler

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y is a function of x so if y^3 = t, then t must also be a function of x (since t is taking over 'y's job so to speak)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

surjithayer then derived both sides of y^3 = t to get 3y^2*(dy/dx) = dt/dx surjithayer derived with respect to x (notice the chain rule on the left side)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

doing this isn't clear until you see the y^2 and the dy/dx that's in the original equation as well, so let's isolate that 3y^2*(dy/dx) = dt/dx y^2*(dy/dx) = (1/3)*(dt/dx)
