Differential equations
\[\sqrt{y^2+1}dx - xydy=0\]
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 :[
\[\begin{align*} \sqrt{y^2+1}\,dx-xy\,dy&=0\\\\ \sqrt{y^2+1}\,dx&=xy\,dy\\\\ \frac{dx}{x}&=\frac{y}{\sqrt{y^2+1}}\,dy \end{align*}\]
ooo alright I think I know how to proceed after that, 1sec
\[\frac{ dx }{ x } - \frac{ y }{ \sqrt{y^2+1} }dy =0\] \[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ dx }{ x } - \int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ y }{ \sqrt{y^2 +1} }dy =C \] \[\ln|x| - \sqrt{y^2+1}=C\]
The \(y\) term is missing a small detail. When integrating, setting \(u=y^2+1\) would yield \(\dfrac{du}{2}=y\,dy\), not just \(du=y\,dy\).
oh true, I somehow did it twice and I canceled it haha
no wait, they cancel after you integrate
Ah yes you're right. One step ahead :P
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
Yes it's correct. You can always try your luck solving for \(y\) or \(x\) explicitly, but your final answer is good.
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
Right. You could even write this ODE as a linear equation in \(x\) and see if you get the same answer.
