I try to solve this equation by finding
How am I supposed to solve it?
Step 1
There is a method to solve equations like this one that uses a clever substitution. The idea is to use substitution to remove the y' term. Whenever you have an equation in the form of
, you substitute . Divide through by to get
Then substitute in
Therefore,
.
Step 2
Divide through by to get
Using standard methods in ODEs, we get
.
Therefore, .
