\int\frac{1}{y^{4}-6y^{3}+5y^{2}} dy =

\frac{1}{4y^{3}-18y^{2}+10y}(ln|{y^{4}-6y^{3}+5y^{2}}|)


is this correct way or doing it? thanks. i was a bit of confuse, if i should do it the above or partial fraction the denominator it? thanks

yes, factorise and then partial fractions is ok

JayKo

wait a minutes,i show my partial fraction. please point out where gone wrong ;) thanks

firstly you can further factorise y^2-6y+5

\frac{1}{y^{4}-6y^{3}+5y^{2}}

=\frac{1}{y^{2}(y^{2}-6y+5)}

=\frac{1}{y^{2}(y-1)(y-5)}

So, by Partial fraction, is this correct?

\frac{1}{y^{2}(y-1)(y-5)}
=\frac{A}{y}+\frac{B}{y^{2}}+\frac{C}{y-1}+\frac{D}{y-5}

and then, by comparing coefficient of y^3, y^2, y.

(A+C+D){y^{3}}=0
(-6A+B-5C-D){y^{2}}=0
(5A-6B)y=0
answer is A=6/25, B=1/5, C=3/10. D=-87/50.

but doubt my answer. anyone can point out?thanks

i know, is just that i m slow using teX, please gimme a min.thanks

I can tell you the answer....
:smile:

no need use latex for such simple expression

most likely you have treated the y^2 bit incorrectly

JayKo
Jan13-08, 05:42 AM
after i substitute A,B,C,and D.

i can get back my original 1/f(x)

looks ok so far

lol, i uses teX as its more tidy, i go n check the y^2 bit now.thanks.

FYI i've got
A=6/25
B=1/5
C=-1/4
D=1/100

JayKo

looks ok so far

if so, then
\frac{1}{y^{2}(y-1)(y-5)}=\frac{6}{25y}+\frac{1}{5y^{2}}+\frac{3}{10(y-1)}-\frac{87}{50(y-5}

OOops,gimme a minute,i recheck :)

you are right! :D :D :D thanks a lot.for pointing it out !:D

\int\frac{1}{y^{4}-6y^{3}+5y^{2}} dy =

6/25(ln|y|)-1/4(ln|y-1|)+1/100(ln|y-5|)-1/(5y). right?

but this problem is actually make y the subject in this equation, how to go about it further?
\int\frac{1}{y^{4}-6y^{3}+5y^{2}} dy = \int\ dt


the original question is \frac{dy}{dt}=y^{4}-6y^{3}+5y^{2} find y(t).


if \int\frac{1}{y^{4}-6y^{3}+5y^{2}} dy =

6/25(ln|y|)-1/4(ln|y-1|)+1/100(ln|y-5|)-1/(5y)
then i m stuck to make y the subject. anyone to point out the mistake.thanks

anyone, can show me the right way?

another differential eq. question.

y'=1+xy find y. how to go about it. i m clueless
my method of multiply dx to (1+xy) doesn't work in this case.

You can solve this by the solution for Linear Differential equation. The equation you have is:


\frac{dy}{dx} = 1 + xy


which can be written as:


\frac{dy}{dx} + y(-x) = 1


which is similar to:


\frac{dy}{dx} + yP = Q


Here, P = (-x); Q = 1

So, you have:


I.F = e^{\int (-x)dx}


I.F = e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}}


And hence, your solution is given by:


ye^{\frac{-x^2}{2}} = \int (1)e^{\frac{-x^2}{2}}dx + C


But, it's gonna be a real pain with this:


\int e^{\frac{-x^2}{2}}dx


a method to which i can't think of right now. Maybe there's some other way..

That integral evaluates to the error function. No "method" for that one, you just have to know it. Haven't checked the rest of your post though, so not sure if the rest of your solution is right.

great, this is something new to me, just started my linear algebra course.thanks.will study your solution

is alright, i was thinking of tackle the question part by part. tomorrow is my tutorial lesson, will find out more with tutor. thanks

np. however, as i've seen in your posts... try not to make consecutive posts in a discussion. i.e. try to put all the thing u wanna say once in one post only. When someone replies to that post, then go ahead and make a new post in reply. This just keeps the forum clean. No offense.

i see, thanks for the advise.will take note.thanks for your effort in solving it as well
