  1. Given Differential Equation: Ty is given the differential equation dydx=4xey\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{4}{xe^{y}} and attempts to solve it by separating variables. Let's check his work step by step.
  2. Separating Variables: Ty writes dydx=4xey\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{4}{xe^{y}} and then separates variables to get eydy=4xdxe^{y}dy=\frac{4}{x}dx. This is the correct method for separating variables in a differential equation.
  3. Integrating Both Sides: Ty integrates both sides, resulting in ey=4lnx+Ce^{y}=4\ln|x|+C. The integration on the left side is correct, as the integral of eydye^{y}\,dy is indeed eye^{y}. On the right side, the integral of (4/x)dx(4/x)\,dx is 4lnx4\ln|x|, but we must remember to include the constant of integration on the same side, so it should be 4lnx+C4\ln|x| + C.
  4. Incorrect Step: Ty writes ln(ey)=ln(4lnx+C)\ln(e^{y})=\ln(4\ln|x|+C). This step is incorrect because taking the natural logarithm of both sides is not necessary and introduces a potential error. The correct approach would be to solve for yy directly from the previous step.
