Homework Statement



How can you solve an arrogant ODE of form [tex]{\frac {\left( {\frac {d}{dt}}\rho \left( t \right) \right) ^{2}}{\rho \left( t \right) }}=-3[/tex]??

The Attempt at a Solution



I don't have any idea... maybe you do!

Thanks

From this you get [itex](\rho '(t))^2 = -3\rho(t)[/itex] from which you get two equations

[tex]\rho '(t) = +\sqrt{-3\rho(t)}[/tex]

and

[tex]\rho '(t) = -\sqrt{-3\rho(t)}[/tex]

Both are separable.

Sorry. I'm a little bit confused right now, but how would this separation help us to get [tex]\rho(t) [/tex]?

If you divide both sides by sqrt(rho), you get:

rho'/sqrt(rho) = +/-sqrt(3) i

You can write this as:

d rho/sqrt(rho) = +/-sqrt(3) i dt

You can now integrate both sides.

a simple ODE with a complex answer :D
