Given Differential Equation: Ty is given the differential equation dxdy=xey4 and attempts to solve it by separating variables. Let's check his work step by step.
Separating Variables: Ty writes dxdy=xey4 and then separates variables to get eydy=x4dx. This is the correct method for separating variables in a differential equation.
Integrating Both Sides: Ty integrates both sides, resulting in ey=4ln∣x∣+C. The integration on the left side is correct, as the integral of eydy is indeed ey. On the right side, the integral of (4/x)dx is 4ln∣x∣, but we must remember to include the constant of integration on the same side, so it should be 4ln∣x∣+C.
Incorrect Step: Ty writes ln(ey)=ln(4ln∣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 y directly from the previous step.
