Solving Differential Equations with Mathematica's Solver

(continued fromÌýlast page...)

It's now time for you to get a little more independent! You've seen a detailed example of how we makeÌýMathematicaÌýsolve a differential equation using theÌýDSolveÌýcommand. Based on what you learned I want you to try solving the followingÌýexactÌý±ð±ç³Ü²¹³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:

(2xyÌý+ 3)dxÌý+ (x2Ìý- 1)dyÌý= 0

Don't forget to write it inÌýderivative formÌýbefore applyingÌýDSolve, and useÌýy[x]ÌýandÌý==Ìýwhen entering it intoÌýMathematica.

Go ahead and switch back toÌýMathematicaÌýnow, and do the problem. Don't forget to come back here to your browser when you are done.

Let's nowÌýmove onÌýand see if you got the correct results...
