MHB Norwin Dole's question at Yahoo Answers about a differential equation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving the differential equation ye^(2x) dx = (4+e^(2x))dy using the method of separation of variables. The solution involves rearranging the equation to isolate dy/y and integrating both sides. The integration results in ln|y| = (1/2)ln|4+e^(2x)| + C, leading to the general solution y = C_1(√(4+e^(2x})). This approach effectively demonstrates how to derive the general solution for the given first-order differential equation. The thread provides a clear example of applying separation of variables in differential equations.

We can solve it by separation of variables:

\dfrac{dy}{y}=\dfrac{e^{2x}\;dx}{4+e^{2x}}

Integrating both sides:

\ln |y|=\dfrac{1}{2}\ln|4+e^{2x}|+C=\ln \sqrt{4+e^{2x}}+C

Equivalently,

y=C_1\left(\sqrt{4+e^{2x}}\right).
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
