Hi! I can't solve one Differential Equation and I would be very grateful if someone could help me :) This is the equation I need to solve:

y' = 1/(x*cosy + sin2y)

According to Wolfram Alpha, the solution isn't very pretty:

. . . . .y(x)=sin1(12(2W(ex21c1)x2))\displaystyle y(x) \,= \,\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\, \left(-2 W\left(e^{-\frac{x}{2}-1} c_1\right)\,-\,x\,-\,2\right)\right)

...where "W" is the "product log function".
 
Hi! I can't solve one Differential Equation and I would be very grateful if someone could help me :) This is the equation I need to solve:

y' = 1/(x*cosy + sin2y)

dydx=1xcos(y)+sin(2y)\displaystyle \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{x*cos(y) + sin(2y)}

dydxcos(y)=1x+2sin(y)\displaystyle \dfrac{dy}{dx} * cos(y) = \dfrac{1}{x + 2sin(y)}

substitute u = sin(y)

dudx=1x+2u\displaystyle \dfrac{du}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{x + 2u}

dxdu= x+2u\displaystyle \dfrac{dx}{du} = \ x + 2u

x = C1eu - 2u - 2

x = C1esin(y) - 2sin(y) - 2

Check whether this expression satisfies your original DE.

Thank you very much!
This equation seems to be above my level.
I can only solve it for x and get x = C1eu - 2u - 2. I hope it will be enough for my professor :)
