Math Problem Statement

the answer should be y In lc(l - x)I = 1

Solution

Let's re-examine the separation of variables process to arrive at the correct solution. The differential equation given is:

(1x)y=y2(1 - x) y' = y^2

  1. Rewrite yy' as dydx\frac{dy}{dx}:

    (1x)dydx=y2(1 - x) \frac{dy}{dx} = y^2

  2. Separate the variables yy and xx on different sides of the equation:

    dyy2=dx1x\frac{dy}{y^2} = \frac{dx}{1 - x}

  3. Integrate both sides:

    • For the left side:

      dyy2=y2dy=y1dy=1y\int \frac{dy}{y^2} = \int y^{-2} \, dy = \int -y^{-1} \, dy = -\frac{1}{y}

    • For the right side:

      dx1x=ln1x\int \frac{dx}{1 - x} = -\ln|1 - x|

    After integrating, you get:

    1y=ln1x+C-\frac{1}{y} = -\ln|1 - x| + C

  4. Simplify and rearrange:

    Multiply both sides by 1-1:

    1y=ln1xC\frac{1}{y} = \ln|1 - x| - C

    Then, take the reciprocal:

    y=1ln1xCy = \frac{1}{\ln|1 - x| - C}

  5. Match with the provided answer form:

    The provided answer form is:

    yln1x=1y \ln|1 - x| = 1

    To match this form, notice that if we multiply both sides of the expression by yy, we get:

    yln1xyC=1y \ln|1 - x| - yC = 1

    If CC is chosen such that yC=1yC = -1, then the equation simplifies to:

    yln1x=1y \ln|1 - x| = 1

    Hence, this matches the form provided.
