Assistance Solving a Non-Linear PDE

**MrG** · November 19th 2012, 02:13 PM

I'm trying to find a general solution to:

$\frac{dy}{dx} = -A + \frac{f(x)}{y}$

where:

$f(x) = \frac{B}{(1+Cx)^2}$ , and the domain is [0,100], and C * x is above 1...

A, B, & C are constants...

I've tried several various substitutions to try and solve this, but feel exhausted in attempts and am looking for suggestions.

Is this supposed to be
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-A + f(x)}{y}$

If that's the case the equation is separable.

By the way, this is an ordinary differential equation, not a PDE.

Thank you for the reply... it is supposed to be:
