Differential equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{y^2+1}dx - xydy=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't really know how to proceed to separate both y's and x's so I can be able to integrate them separately :[

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\begin{align*} \sqrt{y^2+1}\,dx-xy\,dy&=0\\\\ \sqrt{y^2+1}\,dx&=xy\,dy\\\\ \frac{dx}{x}&=\frac{y}{\sqrt{y^2+1}}\,dy \end{align*}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooo alright I think I know how to proceed after that, 1sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ dx }{ x } - \frac{ y }{ \sqrt{y^2+1} }dy =0\] \[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ dx }{ x } - \int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ y }{ \sqrt{y^2 +1} }dy =C \] \[\ln|x| - \sqrt{y^2+1}=C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The \(y\) term is missing a small detail. When integrating, setting \(u=y^2+1\) would yield \(\dfrac{du}{2}=y\,dy\), not just \(du=y\,dy\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh true, I somehow did it twice and I canceled it haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no wait, they cancel after you integrate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah yes you're right. One step ahead :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I pretty much simplified all and went to the last part. But is that the final answer? since this is separable type of ODE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it's correct. You can always try your luck solving for \(y\) or \(x\) explicitly, but your final answer is good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, thanks. As for a Linear type of ODE. I will have to use the long formula where I have e^integral of A(x)dx .... blahablah right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. You could even write this ODE as a linear equation in \(x\) and see if you get the same answer.
