help pls. topic linear differential equation

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

problem is \[\sin y dy - cosy(1-xcosy) dx = 0\]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@johnweldon1993

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

and the final answer should be \[secy = x+1 +ce^x\]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

no i mean divide by sinydx

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

so it gives \[\frac{ dy }{ dx } - \frac{ \cos }{ \sin }(\frac{ 1 }{ siny dx }-\frac{ xcos }{ sindx}) = 0\]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

hey @baru

OpenStudy (baru):

this is supposed to be first order linear right, i'm not able to put it into standard form...

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

yes it is

OpenStudy (baru):

can you just double check and see if you have typed the question correctly? i just cant seem to get it into standard form

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

yes i typed the question correctly

OpenStudy (baru):

i think this is non linear, maybe we can solve by separating variables

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

oh. lets try by separable

OpenStudy (baru):

\[\sin y dy - cosy(1-xcosy) dx = 0\\sin(y)dy=\cos(y)(1-xcos(y))dx\\ \frac{\sin(y)}{\cos(y)}dy=(1-xcos(y))dx\]

OpenStudy (baru):

come to think of it.. we cant separate variables either...

OpenStudy (baru):

@Kainui

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

sin/cos is tan

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

its a difficult problem tho

OpenStudy (baru):

yep, looks right

myininaya (myininaya):

what section is the first problem in?

myininaya (myininaya):

in your book

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

linear equation in diff equation

myininaya (myininaya):

but it is not linear as @baru pointed out

myininaya (myininaya):

can you tell me what methods you have discussed ?

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

this is the only formula give by our from, i guess its a 1st degree linear diff

myininaya (myininaya):

so you guys haven't chatted about bernoulli equations ?

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@myininaya can u check my work in this problem problemis \[(x-2) \frac{ dy }{ dx } = y+ 2(x-2)^3\] divide both side by x-2 \[\frac{ dy }{ dx } = \frac{ y }{ x-2 } +2(x-2)^2\] \[\frac{ dy }{ dx } - \frac{ y }{ x-2 } = 2(x-2)^2\] p(x) = -1/x-2 and q(x) = 2(x-2)^2 I.F = \[e ^{\int\limits \frac{ -1 }{ x-2 }} dx\]

myininaya (myininaya):

that looks right so far

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

im having trouble in the I.F

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\int\limits \frac{1}{u} du=\ln|u|+C\]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

so just =ln/x-2/

myininaya (myininaya):

well you have have a negative 1 as constant multiple \[\int\limits \frac{-1}{x-2} dx=- \int\limits \frac{1}{x-2} dx \\ \text{ \let } u=x-2 \\ \text{ then } du=dx \\ \int\limits \frac{-1}{x-2} dx=\int\limits \frac{-du}{u}=-\ln|u|+C=-\ln|x-2|+C \\ =\ln|(x-2)^{-1}|+C\]

myininaya (myininaya):

we won't not need the constant of integration though

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

ah okay, so the solution is \[\ln(x-2)^{-1} y = 2(x-2)^2 (\ln(x-2)^{-1} dx + c\]

myininaya (myininaya):

did you put your whole integrating factor in? because it looks like you only consider the exponent part of the integrating factor

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

yes, the formula is. \[(I.F)y = \int\limits Q(x) (I.F) dx + c\]

myininaya (myininaya):

you did not put in the integrating factor though you only put in the exponent part of the integrating factor

myininaya (myininaya):

also the integrating factor can be simplified more

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

what u mean

myininaya (myininaya):

you do remember you called I.F. e^(int p dx) ?

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

yes

myininaya (myininaya):

so what happen to the e^ part of the I.F. ?

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

the e part become(x-2)^-1

myininaya (myininaya):

so you mean e^(ln(x-2)^(-1)) became (x-2)^(-1) or just 1/(x-2)

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

just 1/ x-2

myininaya (myininaya):

i was asking this because you put in ln((x-2)^(-1)) as I.F. instead

myininaya (myininaya):

like either (x-2)^(-1) or 1/(x-2) would have worked as I.F.

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

ah, sorry i forgot the e

myininaya (myininaya):

sorry if i made it confusing

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ x-2 } y = 2(x-2)^2 (\frac{ 1 }{ x-2 }) dx + c\]

myininaya (myininaya):

i'm going to go ahead and put in that integral sign \[\frac{1}{x-2}y= \int\limits 2 (x-2)^2 \frac{1}{x-2} dx +C \\ \frac{1}{x-2} y=\int\limits 2 (x-2) dx+C\] perform the last calculus step which is the integration part

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

yes then integrate the \[\int\limits 2(x-2) dx + c\] is \[2(\frac{ (x-2)^2 }{ 2 }) + c \] to \[(x-2)^2\]

myininaya (myininaya):

yah for that one part yes

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ x-2 } y = (x-2)^2 + c\]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

divide both side by x-2

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

\[y = (x-2) + c(x-2)\]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

but the book answer is \[y = (x-2)^3 + c(x-2)\]

myininaya (myininaya):

you didn't divide both sides by (x-2) correctly :p also you should have multiplied both sides by (x-2)

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

wait im confused

myininaya (myininaya):

example if you had y/5=6 you would solve this by multiplying 5 on both sides not by dividing both sides by 5

myininaya (myininaya):

y/5=6 5(y/5)=5(6) y=30 we did this because we knew 5/5 is 1 and 1*y is y

myininaya (myininaya):

so same thing here we had y/(x-2) on the left hand side we knew to multiply both sides by (x-2) because this would get that y by itself

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

yes i should multiply instead of multiplying

myininaya (myininaya):

since (x-2)/(x-2)=1

myininaya (myininaya):

assuming of course x is never 2

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

same answer with the book

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

thanks for the help @myininaya
