Solve the differential equation dydx=15ycos2y\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{5} \sqrt{y} \cos^2 \sqrt{y}.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The given differential equation is separable, meaning we can express it in the form f(y)dy=g(x)dx f(y)dy = g(x)dx .
2. The function y(x) y(x) is differentiable, and its derivative with respect to x x is given by dydx \frac{dy}{dx} .
3. We will integrate both sides of the equation to find the general solution.

STEP 2

Rewrite the differential equation to separate the variables y y and x x .
dydx=15ycos2(y) \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{5} \sqrt{y} \cos^2(\sqrt{y})

STEP 3

Separate the variables by multiplying both sides by dx dx and dividing by ycos2(y) \sqrt{y} \cos^2(\sqrt{y}) .
dyycos2(y)=15dx \frac{dy}{\sqrt{y} \cos^2(\sqrt{y})} = \frac{1}{5} dx

STEP 4

Integrate both sides of the equation with respect to their respective variables.
1ycos2(y)dy=15dx \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{y} \cos^2(\sqrt{y})} dy = \int \frac{1}{5} dx

STEP 5

Let's make a substitution to simplify the left-hand side integral. Set u=y u = \sqrt{y} , which implies y=u2 y = u^2 and dy=2udu dy = 2u du .

STEP 6

Substitute u u and dy dy into the left-hand side integral.
1ucos2(u)2udu=15dx \int \frac{1}{u \cos^2(u)} 2u du = \int \frac{1}{5} dx

STEP 7

Simplify the left-hand side integral.
2cos2(u)du=15dx \int \frac{2}{\cos^2(u)} du = \int \frac{1}{5} dx

STEP 8

Recognize that 2cos2(u) \frac{2}{\cos^2(u)} is 2sec2(u) 2\sec^2(u) , where sec(u)=1cos(u) \sec(u) = \frac{1}{\cos(u)} .
2sec2(u)du=15dx \int 2\sec^2(u) du = \int \frac{1}{5} dx

STEP 9

Integrate both sides. The integral of 2sec2(u) 2\sec^2(u) with respect to u u is 2tan(u) 2\tan(u) , and the integral of 15 \frac{1}{5} with respect to x x is x5 \frac{x}{5} .
2tan(u)=x5+C 2\tan(u) = \frac{x}{5} + C

STEP 10

Now, substitute back u=y u = \sqrt{y} to express the solution in terms of y y .
2tan(y)=x5+C 2\tan(\sqrt{y}) = \frac{x}{5} + C

STEP 11

To express y y explicitly in terms of x x , we would need to take the inverse tangent of both sides and then square the result. However, the constant C C complicates this process, and it's not always possible to express y y in a simple closed form. Therefore, we leave the solution in its implicit form.
The general solution to the differential equation is:
2tan(y)=x5+C 2\tan(\sqrt{y}) = \frac{x}{5} + C
