SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on solving the differential equation $ty' + (t+1)y = t$ with the initial condition $y(\ln{2}) = 1$. Participants detail the process of rewriting the equation, identifying the integrating factor as $u(t) = te^t$, and applying integration by parts (IBP) to derive the solution. The final solution is confirmed as $y = \frac{(t-1+2e^{-t})}{t}$ for $t \neq 0$, with the constant $c$ determined to be 2.

#20 this is the last one of the set
$ty'+(t+1)y=t \quad y(\ln{2}=1,\quad t>0$
rewrite
$y'+\left(\dfrac{t+1}{t}\right)y=1$
$u(t)=e^{\displaystyle\int\dfrac{t+1}{t}dt}=e^{t+\ln |t|}$well anyway wasn't sure about the (t+1):cool:

The integrating factor is correct, but again, simplify it so you can integrate.

$\displaystyle \mathrm{e}^{t + \ln{(t)}} = \mathrm{e}^{\ln{(t)}}\,\mathrm{e}^t = t\,\mathrm{e}^t $
 
ok is that the reason e is used so much?

Ill continue in the morning...:cool:
 
Is what the reason "e" is used so much? "e^x" has the nice property that the derivative of e^x is just e^x again! Also any exponential can be written as "e": a^x= e^{ln(a^x)}= e^{x ln(a)}.

Those are the reasons "e" is used so much.

$\displaystyle \mathrm{e}^{t + \ln{(t)}} = \mathrm{e}^{\ln{(t)}}\,\mathrm{e}^t = t\,\mathrm{e}^t $
#20
$\displaystyle u(t)={e}^{t + \ln{(t)}} = {e}^{\ln{(t)}}\,{e}^t = t\,{e}^t $
so
$(t\,{e}^t )ty'+(t\,{e}^t )(t+1)y=(t\,{e}^t )t$
Ok not sure way to rewrite this due to the (t+1) thot could divide by $t^2$

here are book answersView attachment 9711

$ty' + (t+1) \cdot y = t$

divide every term by $t$ ...

$y' + \dfrac{t+1}{t} \cdot y = 1$

multiply every term by $te^t$ ...

$te^t \cdot y' + (t+1)e^t \cdot y = te^t$

$(te^t \cdot y)' = te^t$

$\displaystyle te^t \cdot y = \int te^t \, dt$

keep going ...

IBP
$e^tt-e^t +c$
so
$ te^t \cdot y=e^tt-e^t +c$
then
$y=\dfrac{e^tt}{te^t}-\dfrac{e^t }{te^t}+\dfrac{c}{te^t}
=1-\dfrac{1}{t}+\dfrac{c}{te^t}$hopefully
 
keep going, apply the initial condition to determine $C$

$y=\dfrac{e^tt}{te^t}-\dfrac{e^t }{te^t}+\dfrac{c}{te^t}
=1-\dfrac{1}{t}+\dfrac{c}{te^t}=\dfrac{(t-1+(c)e^{-t})}{t}$$y(\ln 2)=1-\dfrac{1}{\ln 2}+\dfrac{c}{2\ln 2}$
$c=2$
so the book answer is $y=\dfrac{(t-1+2e^{-t})}{t},\quad t\ne 0$

Come on, surely you can see several common factors that cancel. I don't know why you seem to want to keep around difficult looking terms. The reason it's called "simplifying" is because it literally makes the expressions simpler!

it's not that easy to see
