Homework Statement
y' = e^{x-y'}
The Attempt at a Solution
I have no idea how to handle the situation when y' is appeared in the input of a transcendental function. I substituted y'=p to try to find a parameterized solution to this ODE but it leaded me to nowhere.
This is the ODE: y' + siny + xcosy + x = 0.
The problem is: Find an integrating factor for the ODE above.
You can see my solution to the ODE here: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=543662. from my solution it seems that e^x(sec^2(y/2)) must be an integrating factor. but I fail...
hi
suppose we have this equation :
d/dt(X)=A(t)*X
x is a n by 1 column matrix and A is a n by n matrix that is the matrix of coefficients.
coefficients of equations and consequently A are depend on t which is time.
how i Solve this equation ?
thanks
