#what side does lnk go
131 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
so you've found the general solution?
but you cannot find the constant term to get the particular one?
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
I don't think that is the form they are looking for
-(1+y^2)=k(x+1)
probably you just wolfram-alpha-ed this XD
when x is 0 and y is 0 -1=k
oh
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 -
i combined this
so its lnk(x+1) on the right side
because ln(1-y^2) = 0 when y = 0 and so is ln(x+1) when x = 0
then divide whole thing by ln
you can't divide by ln it's a function
I am asking you for the full expression please
wdym full expression
this is it
ln
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?
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
?
er ig
what about this tho
can you divide by "ln" ?
no
great
and this step is not in the solution above? There is no division by an expression with "ln"
yeh it was removing ln
there is no such thing as "removing ln"
you mean lines 3, 4?
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
yeh i thought so too but if i put it on the right i get k is=-1
idk what this even means but you probably just mess up with some arithmetic
It doesn't matter.
but when u put it on the right i get a negative
where k is -1
.
.
.
ig but i cant spot the mistake
Again, it doesn't matter what you do with k. The final function after you applied the initial condition will be the same, anyway.
show us the working then
Let me try.
nah, @lone lotus ofc you won't make the mistake
he needs to do it for us to spot his
look up
thats not my working
so
this is
..
..
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
?
but you subtracted it from LHS and added on the RHS
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
impressively concise and fast working out
but we kinda had it already and OP was searching for his error
as opposed to a solution
subtracted what
ln(k)
look at the third line here
yeh but this ln k can be on either side
so the reason mine doesnt work is because there is a minus before the ln?
Where is your solution?
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
ye ig that but the lnk can go on the other side without flipping the sign
@lone lotus
why?
-ln(1 - y^2) = ln(k + kx) is correct, but you potentiated wrong. The result should be:
1/(1 - y^2) = k + kx
Remember: e^(-ln(x)) = 1/x, not -x.
👍 yeh makes sense
bring the minus one to the power
thanks
no?
its because your +c is lnk
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
thanks
it was @lone lotus that spotted what you needed after all but welcome :)
