    Default So anyone wanna help me with my math too...?

    Ok so I see everyone else posting math problem up so I figured I would throw this one out there. I have been trying to figure it out for a few days not but it get VERY ugly when you start to work it out. There must be something I am not doing that will make it a little nicer. Let me know.

    SOLVE THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION:


    Ok so I got all the Y's on one side and x's on the other:


    So then I integrated both sides in order to get rid of "dy" and "dx":


    Then i multiplies e to each side in order to get rid of the ln:


    Then i moved things around to get y by itself....this i where I think i messed up








    And my final answer is UGLY as hell....where did i mess up?

    haha, i guess it's the way you deal with stress. i like numbers. working with numbers all day is lovely. only thing better than that would to be a math teacher. plus, i don't have to really worry about losing hair.

    We had differential equations in Calc 1, so thats weird you have it in Calc 2. Though this was more than 3 years ago, so I don't remember shit! haha.

    It's been a few years since I've taken calc 2 or diffy q (don't really use it too much in industrial engineering), but I'm guessing it's something wrong in your integration step. I'm not too fresh on anything but the most basic integration, but all of your algebra looks to be correct.

    Edit: well except you should have a +x in the denominator instead of +1 (like Spek already pointed out)
