Homework Statement


Solve and obtain an expression for x in terms of θ given ## (3+ cos 2θ) dx/dθ = x sin 2θ##

Homework Equations




The Attempt at a Solution


...##dx/x = ((sin 2θ)/(3+ cos 2θ))dθ## ,

let ##u = (3+cos 2θ)⇒ du/dθ= -2 sin 2θ##
thus

##∫dx/x = -1/2∫du/u ##...[/B]are my steps correct?i can solve from here

You noticed that it was 1st order seperable, and proposed a u-substitution for the resulting RHS: well done.
I didn't check your arithmetic - you have to do that yourself - but the reasoning is sound so far.
