Eq.(3)p.4-2 : Why this form of nonlinear 1st order ODE?
Most general form:
 |
(2) |
Application:
 |
(3) |
Where
is defined as
HW: Show that
in Eq(3) is a nonlinear 1st order ODE.
Hint: Define the differential operator
associated with Eq(3).
Form for exact nonlinear 1st order ODE:
is exact if
a function
such that
 |
(1) |
where:
is defined as "there exists"
Multiply Eq1) thru by
to get:
Eq.(3)p.4-2 :
NOTE: If
does not have the form:
 |
(2) |
Then
cannot be exact.
Application: Eq.(3)p.5-2 is not exact because of the nonlinear term 
Exactness test (continued)
p5-3 Eq(1):
Since
and 
and 
and 
and 
 |
(1) |
Application: Eq.(1)p.4-3 Not Exact
