(r^2) (dT/dr)+B*r*T=T^2, with initial condition dT/dr |r=0 =0 where B is a constant


I've gotten it to this:

dT/dr = -BT/r + T2 / r2

by dividing everything by r2, then I substitute using λ= T/r which gives:


r * dλ/dr + lambda = -B * (λ) + λ^2


I don't know how to separate from here, any help is appreciated

Aren't you almost finished?

## r \frac{d\lambda}{dr} + \lambda = -B\lambda + \lambda^{2} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{-\lambda(B+1) + \lambda^{2}} \frac{d\lambda}{dr} = \frac{1}{r} ##
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
