Separable D.E., Nonlinear in terms of y(x) after integration

In summary, a separable differential equation is one in which the variables can be separated and each side of the equation can be integrated separately. After integration, the resulting equation is nonlinear in terms of y(x) if it cannot be written as a linear combination of y(x) and its derivatives. Separation of variables can be used to solve a separable differential equation by isolating the dependent variable and integrating both sides of the equation. The purpose of integrating is to find the general solution, which can then be used to find specific solutions for different initial conditions. However, there are limitations to using separation of variables as it may not always be possible to separate the variables and the resulting equation may not be solvable in terms of elementary functions.

So, this is where I am stuck:

[tex]ln\left(y\right)+y^{2} = \sin{x}+c_{0}[/tex]

I am confrused... :blushing:

Do you think that

[tex]y(x) =\pm\sqrt{2LambertW(2exp(2sin(x)+C)}/2[/tex]

is better?

It's easier to express <x> in terms of <y>, wouldn't you say ?

EtherealMonkey, are you required to solve for y? That isn't always necessary or possible.
 
  • #5
hmm, but is it possible to make an explicit form in terms of x?
