(6x-5y+4)dy+(y-2x-1)dx=0​
Len [333]

(6<em>x</em> - 5<em>y</em> + 4) d<em>y</em> + (<em>y</em> - 2<em>x</em> - 1) d<em>x</em> = 0

(6<em>x</em> - 5<em>y</em> + 4) d<em>y</em> = (2<em>x</em> - <em>y</em> + 1) d<em>x</em>

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = (2<em>x</em> - <em>y</em> + 1) / (6<em>x</em> - 5<em>y</em> + 4)

Let <em>X</em> = <em>x</em> - <em>a</em> and <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em> - <em>b</em>. We want to find constants <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> such that

d<em>Y</em>/d<em>X</em> = (a rational function)

where the numerator and denominator on the right side are free of constant terms. Substituting <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> in the equation, we have

d<em>Y</em>/d<em>X</em> = (2 (<em>X</em> + <em>a</em>) - (<em>Y</em> + <em>b</em>) + 1) / (6 (<em>X</em> + <em>a</em>) - 5 (<em>Y</em> + <em>b</em>) + 4)

d<em>Y</em>/d<em>X</em> = (2<em>X</em> - <em>Y</em> + 2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em> + 1) / (6<em>X</em> - 5<em>Y</em> + 6<em>a</em> - 5<em>b</em> + 4)

Then we solve for <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> in the system,

2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em> + 1 = 0

6<em>a</em> - 5<em>b</em> + 4 = 0

==>   <em>a</em> = -1/4 and <em>b</em> = 1/2

With these constants, the equation reduces to

d<em>Y</em>/d<em>X</em> = (2<em>X</em> - <em>Y</em>) / (6<em>X</em> - 5<em>Y</em>)

Now substitute <em>Y</em> = <em>VX</em> and d<em>Y</em>/d<em>X</em> = <em>X</em> d<em>V</em>/d<em>X</em> + <em>V</em> :

<em>X</em> d<em>V</em>/d<em>X</em> + <em>V</em> = (2<em>X</em> - <em>VX</em>) / (6<em>X</em> - 5<em>VX</em>)

The equation becomes separable after some simplification:

<em>X</em> d<em>V</em>/d<em>X</em> + <em>V</em> = (2 - <em>V</em>) / (6 - 5<em>V</em>)

<em>X</em> d<em>V</em>/d<em>X</em> = (2 - <em>V</em>) / (6 - 5<em>V</em>) - <em>V</em>

<em>X</em> d<em>V</em>/d<em>X</em> = (2 - <em>V</em> - (6 - 5<em>V</em>)) / (6 - 5<em>V</em>)

<em>X</em> d<em>V</em>/d<em>X</em> = (4<em>V</em> - 4) / (6 - 5<em>V</em>)

- (5<em>V</em> - 6) / (4<em>V</em> - 4) d<em>V</em> = 1/<em>X</em> d<em>X</em>

Integrate both sides:

-5/4 <em>V</em> + 1/4 ln|4<em>V</em> - 4| = ln|<em>X</em>| + <em>C</em>

Extract a constant from the logarithm on the left:

-5/4 <em>V</em> + 1/4 (ln(4) + ln|<em>V</em> - 1|) = ln|<em>X</em>| + <em>C</em>

-5/4 <em>V</em> + 1/4 ln|<em>V</em> - 1| = ln|<em>X</em>| + <em>C</em>

-5<em>V</em> + ln|<em>V</em> - 1| = 4 ln|<em>X</em>| + <em>C</em>

Get this back in terms of <em>Y</em> :

-5<em>Y/X</em> + ln|<em>Y/X</em> - 1| = 4 ln|<em>X</em>| + <em>C</em>

Now get the solution in terms of <em>y</em> and <em>x</em> :

-5 (<em>y</em> - 1/2)/(<em>x</em> + 1/4) + ln|(<em>y</em> - 1/2)/(<em>x</em> + 1/4) - 1| = 4 ln|<em>x</em> + 1/4| + <em>C</em>

<em />

With some manipulation of constants and logarithms, and a bit of algebra, we can rewrite this solution as

-5 (4<em>y</em> - 2)/(4<em>x</em> + 1) + ln|(4<em>y</em> - 4<em>x</em> - 3)/(4<em>x</em> + 1)| = 4 ln|<em>x</em> + 1/4| + 4 ln(4) + <em>C</em>

-5 (4<em>y</em> - 2)/(4<em>x</em> + 1) + ln|(4<em>y</em> - 4<em>x</em> - 3)/(4<em>x</em> + 1)| = 4 ln|4<em>x</em> + 1| + <em>C</em>

-5 (4<em>y</em> - 2)/(4<em>x</em> + 1) + ln|4<em>y</em> - 4<em>x</em> - 3| - ln|4<em>x</em> + 1| = 4 ln|4<em>x</em> + 1| + <em>C</em>

-5 (4<em>y</em> - 2)/(4<em>x</em> + 1) + ln|4<em>y</em> - 4<em>x</em> - 3| = 5 ln|4<em>x</em> + 1| + <em>C</em>

In the expretion7to the third power-4*3+8 the firstt operation is
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

7³

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS, we see that E (which stands for exponents) comes before M (which stands for multiplication) and A (which stands for addition) so the first operation you should do is 7³.

Which points on the curve of x^2 - xy - y^2 = 5 have vertical tangent lines?
algol [13]

We need to differentiate this with respect to x to see if we can find an expression for the derivative of y at various points.  That will be the slope of the tangent to the curve.  Then we want to see where that derivative might be infinite -- i.e., where the tangent is vertical.

 

It's not written as a function, but it can still be differentiated using the chain rule:

 

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

(2x) + (x dy/dx + y dx/dx) + (2y dy/dx) = 0

 

(I used parentheses to show the differentiation of each term in the original equation.)

 

2x + x dy/dx + y + 2y dy/dx = 0

2x + y = -x dy/dx - 2y dy/dx

2x + y = dy/dx (-x -2y)

-(2x + y)/(x + 2y) = dy/dx

 

We have the derivative of y, but it's defined partly in terms of y itself.  That's OK.  Let's go on...

 

So where would the slope be infinite?  That would happen when x + 2y = 0, or y = -x/2

 

Let's plug that in for y in the original equation to find points where that's the case.

 

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

x2 + x(-x/2) + (-x/2)2 = 3

x2 - x2/2 + x2/4 = 3

3x2 / 4 = 3

x2 = 4

x = ±2

 

So we have two x values where the tangent might be vertical.  Let's plug them into the equation and see what the y values are.  First x = 2...

 

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

4 + 2y + y2 = 3

y2 + 2y + 1 = 0

(y + 1)2 = 0

y = -1

 

So at the point (2, -1) the tangent is vertical.

 

Now try x = -2...

 

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

4 - 2y + y2 = 3

y2 - 2y + 1 =0

(y - 1)2 = 0

y = 1

 

So at the point (-2, 1) the tangent is vertical.
