Homework Statement



Obtain the general solution of 2xydy - 6y^2dy + 8xdx + y^2dx = 0

2. The attempt at a solution

2xydy - 6y^2dy + 8xdx + y^2dx = 0

2xydy + y^2dx = 6y^2dy - 8xdx

\intd(xy^2) = \int6y^2dy - 8xdx

xy^2 = \frac{6y^3}{3} - \frac{8x^2}{2}+C

xy^2 = 2y^3 - 4x^2+C

3. Homework Statement

Find the particular solution of the DE that satisfies the condition y = 5 when x = 1

4. The attempt at a solution

xy^2 = 2y^3 - 4x^2+C

(5)^2 = 2(5)^3 - 4+C

25 = 250 - 4+C

C = -221

Does all of this look right to you? I'm not so sure about the last part?

i think it looks good...but i am always wrong about these things...can someone else see if this is correct or not
 
It's right. Did you really tex all of that up to get someone to check your arithmetic? :smile:
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
