Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a differential equation presented in the form y(2xy+e^x)dx-exdy=0 with an initial condition y(0)=2. Participants are exploring methods to solve this equation, which appears to involve concepts related to Bernoulli's equation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Problem interpretation, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are prompted to show their work and consider the category of the differential equation. There are discussions about rearranging the equation to a recognizable form and identifying its characteristics, such as linearity and homogeneity. Some participants suggest that the equation may relate to Bernoulli's equation due to the presence of a second power of y.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants expressing uncertainty about how to solve the equation. Some have provided partial rearrangements and insights into its structure, while others are seeking further clarification and guidance on the approach to take.

Contextual Notes

There is a notable emphasis on the forum's guidelines, which discourage direct solutions and encourage participants to demonstrate their understanding and previous attempts. The nature of the equation and its initial condition are central to the discussion, with participants questioning the best methods for tackling it.

ah … that's not the way this forum works. :wink:

First show us what work you've done …

which category do you think this comes in?

have you seen anything similar?

what have you tried? :smile:

Write it out in the form dy/dx + ... = ..., rearrange the terms and you should be able to get a recognisable DE.
 


I can't get any solutions
 


please write the solution
 


If you click on the "Go advanced" button at the bottom of your reply box it will present you with a number of options to add extra content into your replies.

There is a "[tex]\sum[/tex]" button which you can click on to add mathematics in LaTeX format. Its very useful when trying to communicate ideas to other as ASCII is insufficient for communicating mathematics.

Good luck
:cool:

Hi there!

It's an interesting DE! To be honest I don't have any idea how to solve it too :(

Write it out in the form dy/dx + ... = ..., rearrange the terms and you should be able to get a recognisable DE.

[tex]y(2xy+e^x)dx=e^xdy[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2xy^2+ye^x}{e^x}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}-y=\frac{2xy^2}{e^x}[/tex]

Now, as I stare at it I see it's not linear and it's not homogeneous. It also cannot be solved by separation of variables.., quadrature does not work here. The 2nd power of y reminds me of the Bernoulli equation.. hmmmmm

The latter is correct, consider Bernoulli...
