help please solve the differential equation dy/dx = x^2y-y+x^2-1
@mathmale
@zepdrix
i was thinking of factoring iit \[\frac{ dy }{ dx }= y(x^2-1)+(x^2-1)\]
Ooo nice :) I didn't see that.
\[dy/dx = (y+1)+(x^2-1)\]
Woops!
\[\large\rm \left[y\color{orangered}{(x^2-1)}+1\color{orangered}{(x^2-1)}\right]\quad=\quad \color{orangered}{(x^2-1)}[y+1]\]
No plus between the factors, ya?
oh crapt...yeh
so then hmm
Now sure? Separate variables. Get the y's on the left, leave the x's on the right.
\[|(y+1)|dy=(x^2-1)dx\]
Hmm I'm not sure what you did... How did you move (y+1) to the left side..?
It was `multiplying` the x stuff, so to move it to the left you must _________.
oh i did a mistake arghh okay so the 1 _____ dy = (x^2-1) dx (y+1)
Good
so then hmmm integerate
ln | y+1| = 1/3 x^3-1x
okay so then we put e|dw:1481133360688:dw|
