Question

The solution to the Bernoulli problem

This is what I have so far.....

since y^-2 is in the far side of the equation, the substitution will be u=y^3 or that y=cubic root(u).  From there I have a hard time getting the right side to cancel out and leave me with an expression free of y's or u's.  Any help is appreciated.

Explanation / Answer

y^-2 -> n = -2

u = y^(1-n) = y^3 -> u' = 3y'y^2

y'+y = 4e^x y^-2 -> mutiply by y^2 :

y^2 y' + y^3 = 4e^x

1/3 u' + u = 4e^x

u' + 3u = 12e^x

multiply by e^(3x):

e^(3x)u' + 3e^(3x)u = 12e^(4x)

d/dx (e^(3x)u) = 12e^(4x)

e^(3x)u = int 12e^(4x) dx = 12/4 e^(4x) + C = 3e^(4x) + C

-> u = 3e^x + C.e^(-3x)

-> y^3 = 3e^x + C.e^(-3x)

-> (y^3 - 3e^x)/e^(-3x) = C

e^(3x)y^3 - 3e^(4x) = C

so f(x,y) = e^(3x)y^3
