Is y=x^3 a solution of the differential equation yy'=x^5+y

shepuryov [24]

No; we have $y=x^3\implies y'=3x^2$ . Substituting these into the DE gives

$3x^5=x^5+x^3$

which reduces to $x^3=0$ , true only for $x=0$ .

Write a rational function with no vertical asymptotes and no holes. Please explain.

Ksju [112]

ANSWER

$f(x) = \frac{ {x}^{2} }{ {x}^{2} + 1 }$

EXPLANATION

We write the function such that both the numerator and the denominator are prime.

An example of a rational function with no vertical asymptotes and no holes is

$f(x) = \frac{ {x}^{2} }{ {x}^{2} + 1 }$

For the above rational function, the denominator is never zero, so there are no vertical asymptotes.

Also the highest common factor for the numerator and the denominator is 1 so there are no holes.
