#what side does lnk go

#

so ive put lnk on the side with x but with this i get k=-1 which is wrong

#

@dusky blade

dusky blade
#

not sure I understand you @prime anvil

#

where is the k

prime anvil
#

the k is the +c bit

#

when intergrated it is -ln(1-y^2)=ln(x+1)+lnk

dusky blade
#

so you've found the general solution?

#

but you cannot find the constant term to get the particular one?

prime anvil
#

yeh ik the solution but instead of putting lnk on the right hand side they have put it on the left

#

which gives k=1

dusky blade
#

who are they? also just multiply by -1 ?

#

I don't see the problem

dusky blade
prime anvil
#

-(1+y^2)=k(x+1)

dusky blade
#

probably you just wolfram-alpha-ed this XD

prime anvil
#

when x is 0 and y is 0 -1=k

dusky blade
#

oh

prime anvil
#

then when you sub k back in to get it into y=g(x) u get y^2=-x

#

which is not correct

#

maybe there is an error when dividing by ln

#

idk if u can divide ln by -ln to get -

dusky blade
#

well you might be dividing by 0

#

what are you dividing exactly?

prime anvil
#

so its lnk(x+1) on the right side

dusky blade
#

because ln(1-y^2) = 0 when y = 0 and so is ln(x+1) when x = 0

prime anvil
#

then divide whole thing by ln

dusky blade
#

you can't divide by ln it's a function

#

I am asking you for the full expression please

prime anvil
#

wdym full expression

prime anvil
dusky blade
#

so what are you dividing?

#

by what

prime anvil
#

ln

dusky blade
#

it's not correct

#

you cannot divide by ln any more than you can divide by "+"

#

it's an operation not a number

#

ln(x) is the natural logarithm

#

aka log_e(x)

#

(log with base e)

#

does this speak to you?

prime anvil
#

this is the answer

#

im confused about which side the lnk goes to the left or the right as it always changes when i do these questions

dusky blade
prime anvil
#

er ig

dusky blade
#

can you divide by "ln" ?

prime anvil
#

no

dusky blade
#

great

prime anvil
#

but do you know where to put the lnk?

#

is it just trial an error

dusky blade
#

and this step is not in the solution above? There is no division by an expression with "ln"

prime anvil
#

yeh it was removing ln

dusky blade
#

there is no such thing as "removing ln"

prime anvil
#

just to work out k

#

only temporary

dusky blade
#

you mean lines 3, 4?

prime anvil
#

4,5

#

the ln dissapears

#

step 3 says lnk is on the left

#

but why not on the right?

dusky blade
#

it "dissappears" because ln(a) - ln(b) = ln(a/b)

#

(b=/=0)

#

and as far as I am concerned it does not matter where the k is

prime anvil
#

yeh i thought so too but if i put it on the right i get k is=-1

dusky blade
#

idk what this even means but you probably just mess up with some arithmetic

prime anvil
#

where k is -1

#

Again, it doesn't matter what you do with k. The final function after you applied the initial condition will be the same, anyway.

dusky blade
lone lotus
#

Let me try.

dusky blade
#

nah, @lone lotus ofc you won't make the mistake

#

he needs to do it for us to spot his

prime anvil
#

look up

dusky blade
#

it's k=1

prime anvil
#

thats not my working

dusky blade
#

so

prime anvil
dusky blade
#

how I am supposed to see your mistake

#

oh

prime anvil
prime anvil
dusky blade
#

well

#

that's the mistake

#

first line

#

you did not multiply the term by (-1) when "changing sides"

#

really you are subtracting ln(k) from both sides

prime anvil
#

?

dusky blade
#

but you subtracted it from LHS and added on the RHS

lone lotus
# prime anvil

2y(1 + x)dy = (1 - y^2)dx
2ydy/(y^2 - 1) = -dx/(1 + x)
We integrate.
ln(|1 - y^2|) = ln(|k|) - ln(|1 + x|)
1 - y^2 = k/(1 + x)
y^2 = 1 - k/(1 + x)
We have y(0) = 0. So:
0 = 1 - k
k = 1
Thus, the solution is:
y^2 = 1 - 1/(1 + x)
y^2 = x/(1 + x)
You can split it into y = ±√(x/(1 + x)), or write it like x = y^2/(1 - y^2), doesn't matter.

cant u just leave the minus there

dusky blade
#

b + a = c
=> a = c - b

#

:/

dusky blade
#

but we kinda had it already and OP was searching for his error

#

as opposed to a solution

prime anvil
dusky blade
#

ln(k)

dusky blade
prime anvil
#

yeh but this ln k can be on either side

prime anvil
prime anvil
#

-ln(1-y^2)=ln(1+x) +lnk
-ln(1-y^2)=lnk+kx

#

-(1-y^2)=k+kx

#

-1=k

dusky blade
#

the correct line that is closest to your line is

ln(|k|)-ln(|1-y^2|)=ln(|1+x|)

#

now you make the error of "bringing" the ln(k) to the other side without flipping the sign

prime anvil
#

ye ig that but the lnk can go on the other side without flipping the sign

#

@lone lotus

lone lotus
#

Remember: e^(-ln(x)) = 1/x, not -x.

prime anvil
#

bring the minus one to the power

#

thanks

dusky blade
prime anvil
dusky blade
#

it's to take to a negative power

#

constant of intergration, right

#

ok

#

well, I think you are good now. feel free to come back

prime anvil
#

thanks

dusky blade
#

it was @lone lotus that spotted what you needed after all but welcome :)
