I don't understand what it's asking for.....

  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
+close
  1. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  2. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  3. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

Let’s start with 4

#

What did you write down as your differential equation

#

Actually let’s start with 3a

#

I disagree with your integral of 1/3y

#

Try differentiating ln(3y) with respects to y

#

@languid radish

#

I disagree with this step

#

If you differentiate ln(3y) you don’t get back to 1/3y

Sorry the lnx is not on the bottom

#

$\frac{1}{3} ln|x|$

Times through by 3 then exponentiate both sides

rose comet
#

Why over 3?

languid radish
#

with natural log

rose comet
#

We need to * both sides by 3

languid radish
#

this is how my teacher does these

rose comet
#

Nono that’s fine

#

But it’s lny = 3kx +C

languid radish
rose comet
#

Yep

#

Seems good

#

And if you want you can say
y= e^(3kx+C)
y=A(e^3kx)

#

What workings have you got for 4?

languid radish
#

so turns out

#

there's no k

#

for the problem

rose comet
#

Oh wild

#

Oh ye lol the question doesn’t say directly proportional oops

languid radish
#

lets see for number 4

languid radish
#

this one is weird

rose comet
#

Can you show working

languid radish
#

i need to figure out number 4 first

rose comet
#

Do you have any working

languid radish
#

nvm i solved it

#

for number 4
