Solve the differential equation in Exercises 9–22.
13. (dy/dx) = √y cos²√y

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recognize that the given differential equation is \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{y} \cos^{2}(\sqrt{y}) \). Our goal is to separate variables to integrate both sides.
Make the substitution \( t = \sqrt{y} \), which implies \( y = t^{2} \) and \( \frac{dy}{dx} = 2t \frac{dt}{dx} \). Rewrite the differential equation in terms of \( t \): \( 2t \frac{dt}{dx} = t \cos^{2}(t) \).
Simplify the equation by dividing both sides by \( t \) (assuming \( t \neq 0 \)): \( 2 \frac{dt}{dx} = \cos^{2}(t) \). Then, solve for \( \frac{dt}{dx} \): \( \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{2}(t) \).
Separate variables to isolate \( t \) and \( x \): \( \frac{dt}{\cos^{2}(t)} = \frac{1}{2} dx \). Recall that \( \frac{1}{\cos^{2}(t)} = \sec^{2}(t) \), so the equation becomes \( \sec^{2}(t) dt = \frac{1}{2} dx \).
Integrate both sides: \( \int \sec^{2}(t) dt = \int \frac{1}{2} dx \). Use the integral formula \( \int \sec^{2}(t) dt = \tan(t) + C \) to find the implicit solution, then substitute back \( t = \sqrt{y} \) to express the solution in terms of \( y \) and \( x \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Separable Differential Equations

A separable differential equation can be written as a product of a function of x and a function of y, allowing variables to be separated on opposite sides of the equation. This enables integration with respect to each variable independently to find the solution.
