This isn't a homework problem, but it's a problem I've come across that I would really like to know the answer to. Is it possible?
Solve for u(x) and v(x) in the system of equations:
[itex]u(x)v'(x) = x^x(ln(x) + 1)[/itex]
[itex]u'(x)v(x) = x^xln(x)[/itex]
2. The attempt at a solution
I tried for a long while to solve this, but I have had no differential equations courses outside of the small intro to differential equations section of calc 2.
I could post my work but it would take absolutely forever to type it all up and I really don't think it would be useful considering I sort of just messed around with the differentials not knowing half the time if what I was doing was ok.
Any help is appreciated, and like I said, I don't have much experience with differential equations so please keep your answers as simplified as possible :S
