(Differential Equations) Error in textbook or me?

Solve the exact differential: (e^(x)siny+tany)dx + (e^(x)cosy + xsec^()y)dy =

I get h'(y) = dy, h(y) = y +C and final answer: e^(x)siny+tanyx+y=C, Book says e^(x)siny+tanyx = C

  • I’m going to examine the book’s answer first.

    e^x sin(y) + x tan(y) = C

    The “exact differential” of the left side is

    d[ e^x sin(y) + x tan(y) ]/dx times dx + d[e^x sin(y) + x tan(y)]/dy times dy.

    The derivatives are partials, I just can’t type them that way.

    They come out to

    [e^x sin(y) + tan(y) ] dx + [e^x cos(y) + x sec^(y)] dy

    Obviously the “exact differential” of the right side is zero.

    So the book’s answer does match the given differential equation!

    Next I’ll examine your answer.

    The exact differential of the expression on the left side of your result is

    [e^x sin(y) + tan(y)] dx + [e^x cos(y) + x sec^(y) + ] dy

    which does not match the given differential equation.

    The book is right, and you are wrong. I don’t know your “h” method,

    sorry I can’t comment on why it introduced an error.

    How to obtain a pure sample of solid MgSO?

    Answers Favorite AnswerYou have to get the MgO into a more usable form. To do this, add water to MgO first.MgO + HO ---> Mg(OH)Now you can use Mg(OH) with sulphuric acid.Mg(OH) + HSO ===> MgSO + HOI suppose it is possible to write it asMgO + HO + HSO ===> MgSO + HOMgO + HSO ===> MgSO + HO It should work.Add distilled water to the MgO so that it becomes Mg(OH). For simplicity it is best to use the sulfuric acid, since the only products other than magnesium sulphate would be water. The water can be removed by heating the solution until most of the water boils away. If you want anhydrous magnesium sulphate then you can heat the hydrated salt that is left.Other than take a bottle of magneisum sulfate from the shelf in my stockroom?React Mg(OH), which is called milk of magnesia, and HSO, sulfuric acid, stoichiometrically, and evaporate the water, allowing the MgSO salt to precipitate.Mg(OH)(s) + HSO(aq) --> MgSO(aq) + HO(l)
