Can anyone help me solve

[tex]\dot{x} = Hx_0 \left( \sqrt{B} \frac{x_0}{x} + \sqrt{1-A-B} \right)[/tex]

what is what? in any case, try integrating factor method
 
It's equivalent to solving

[tex]y \frac{dy}{dx} + ay + b = 0[/tex]
 
We need more information. Are you saying that A, B, H, and x0 are constants? Is so, simplify by letting
[tex]U= \frac{H\sqrt{B}x_0^2}{x}[/tex]
and
[tex]V= Hx_0\sqrt{1- A- B}[/itex]<br /> <br /> So your equation becomes <br /> [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}= \frac{U}{x}+ V= \frac{U+ Vx}{x}[/tex]<br /> [tex]\frac{xdx}{U+ Vx}= dt[/itex]<br /> <br /> That's easy to integrate.[/tex][/tex]

Then I get

[tex]t= \frac{x}{V} -\frac{U}{V^2}ln(Vx+U)[/tex]

and trying to solve this for x is rather difficult?
