"Solve the differential equation by separation of variables." essentially, integrate the function by separating y and x. question: dy/dx = cos(x) * e^(y + sin(x)) I get: sin(x) = u, cos(x)dx = du dy = du * e^(y + u) dy = du * e^(y) * e^(u) e^(-y)dy = e^(u)du => -e^(-y) = e^(u) + C ln(-e^(-y)) = ln (e^(u) + C) y = ln(e^(u) + C) answer is y = - ln(C - e^(u)) Where the hell did I go wrong? :/   | ||

e^(-y) = -e^u + C (C is an arbitrary constant anyway) -y = ln(C-e^u) y = -ln(C-e^u) As for where your problem is, give me a second to figure that out. I think it's your last line. ln(-e&(-y)) != y ln(-e^(-y)) = (ln(e^(-y))^(-1) = -y^(-1) ? | ||

ln(-e^(-y)) = ln (e^(u) + C) is illegal | ||

thanks!_! So the negative doesn't affect the constant? fuuuuu tytyty | ||

If you do move the negative over, you will get ln(e^(-y)) = ln (-e^(u) + D) (new constant which would be the negative of your old one) And now, you will get their answer. It's really weird though, it feels like it should still technically be "legal" to do it your way. edit: I'm too slow. The negative affects the constant but you just relabel it as a new constant. For all you knew C was negative anyway, so your new one is a positive constant. | ||
