Is this differential equation a Bernoulli equation?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The differential equation given, y' = (3x²y - y³) / (2x²), is confirmed to be a Bernoulli equation. To rewrite it in Bernoulli form, one must rearrange it into the standard format, which is y' + P(x)y = Q(x)y^n. The correct approach involves identifying the coefficients and applying algebraic transformations. The discussion highlights the importance of careful manipulation and substitution to achieve the desired form.

Homework Statement


Show that the differential equation is a Bernoulli equation by rewriting it in a different form:

[tex]y'=\frac{3x^2y - y^3}{2x^2}[/tex]


I've tried numerous algebraic operations without any luck. Am I supposed to transform the equation algebraically to get it into Bernoulli form, or am I supposed to use a substitution, if so what substitution?

I think just rearrange the equation algebraically would be ok. Try to write it in the standard form. What actually got you stuck?
 
Edit: I found my stupid mistake
