Hello MHB,
$$(x^2+1)y'-2xy=x^2+1$$ if $$y(1)=\frac{\pi}{2}$$What I have done:
Divide evrything by $$x^2+1$$ and we got
$$y'-\frac{2xy}{x^2+1}=1$$
we got the integer factor as $$e^{^-\int\frac{2x}{x^2+1}}= e^{-ln(x^2+1)}$$
Now I get
$$(e^{-ln(x^2+1)}y)'=e^{-ln(x^2+1)}$$
and this lead me to something wrong, I am doing something wrong or?

Regards,
$$|\pi\rangle$$

Try simplifying the expression first , remember logarithm and exponential are (inverse) ...

that means if I got right
$$e^{-ln(x^2+1)}=-x^2-1$$?

No , remember the rules of logarithm $$\log x^n = n\log x $$ .

Ahhh I see now! $$e^{-ln(x^2+1)}=e^{ln((x^2+1)^{-1})}= \frac{1}{x^2+1}$$
Thanks a lot Zaid! I should be able to continue!:) Thanks for fast responed and taking your time!

I have the equation ##F^x=m\frac {d}{dt}(\gamma v^x)##, where ##\gamma## is the Lorentz factor, and ##x## is a superscript, not an exponent. In my textbook the solution is given as ##\frac {F^x}{m}t=\frac {v^x}{\sqrt {1-v^{x^2}/c^2}}##. What bothers me is, when I separate the variables I get ##\frac {F^x}{m}dt=d(\gamma v^x)##. Can I simply consider ##d(\gamma v^x)## the variable of integration without any further considerations? Can I simply make the substitution ##\gamma v^x = u## and then...
