Solve the differential equation in Exercises 9–22.
17. (dy/dx) = 2x(y - 1), y > 1

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the given differential equation \( \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x(y - 1) \) is separable because the right-hand side can be expressed as a product of a function of \( x \) and a function of \( y \).
Rewrite the equation to separate variables: divide both sides by \( y - 1 \) and multiply both sides by \( dx \) to get \( \frac{1}{y - 1} dy = 2x \, dx \).
Integrate both sides: integrate \( \int \frac{1}{y - 1} dy \) on the left and \( \int 2x \, dx \) on the right.
After integration, express the result as \( \ln|y - 1| = x^2 + C \), where \( C \) is the constant of integration.
Since the problem states \( y > 1 \), you can drop the absolute value and solve for \( y \) by exponentiating both sides to get \( y - 1 = e^{x^2 + C} \), then rewrite as \( y = 1 + Ce^{x^2} \) where \( C = e^C \) is a new constant.

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.
