MOTION question. ^_^ I need help with part II) http://prntscr.com/6zvdr8

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

i've done part I) ---> http://prntscr.com/6zves9 :) But whilst doing part II) i got stuck :S

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

for part II), i've gotten this far LOL http://prntscr.com/6zvhyx

OpenStudy (phi):

write it as \[ \frac{dx}{dt} = x^2 +1 \] and split the dx/dt \[ dx = (x^2 +1) \ dt \\ \frac{dx}{x^2+1}= dt \]

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yeah, i got up to t = arctanx - arctan2 But i'm not sure where to go from here

OpenStudy (phi):

or rather x= tan(t+c) where c= atan(2)

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

wait a minute... x can equal to both tan( t - c) and tan (t + c) ? where c = atan (2)?

OpenStudy (phi):

no, I posted the wrong sign for c the first time

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

oh gotchyaaa :) Just checking. Alright so it would end up being something like this? http://prntscr.com/6zvoea

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, but maybe simpler to write x= tan(t+c) = (tan t + 2)/(1 - 2 tan t) where tan(c)= 2

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

okay :) thank you!
