    This is a Bernoulli equation. The standard method is to substitute $z = x^{-1}$

$$frac{dx}{dt}=x^2t^3+xt$$
$$(x^2t^3+xt)dt-dx=0$$
Solving thanks to the integrating factor method.



Let $mu(x,t)$ an integrating factor.
$$(x^2t^3+xt)mu dt-mu dx=0$$
The condition to be an exact differential is :
$$frac{partial}{partial x}left((x^2t^3+xt)mu right) = frac{partial}{partial t}(-mu)$$
$$frac{partial mu}{partial t}+(x^2t^3+xt)frac{partial mu}{partial x}+(2xt^3+t)mu=0$$
In the most simple cases $mu(x,t)$ is on the form $f(x)$ or $g(t)$ or $h(xt)$. But in the present case, trying those forms of $mu(x,y)$ fails. So, we try a more general form, for example
$mu(x,t)=f(x)g(t)$
$$f(x)frac{dg}{dt}+(x^2t^3+xt)g(t)frac{df}{dx}+(2xt^3+t)f(x)g(t)=0$$
$$frac{1}{tg(t)}frac{dg}{dt}+(xt^2+1)frac{x}{f(x)}frac{df}{dx}+(2xt^2+1)=0$$
The separation of variables becomes possible if
$$xt^2frac{x}{f(x)}frac{df}{dx}+2xt^2=0quadimpliesquad frac{x}{f(x)}frac{df}{dx}=-2quadimpliesquad f(x)=frac{1}{x^2}$$
Then
$$frac{1}{tg(t)}frac{dg}{dt}+frac{x}{f(x)}frac{df}{dx}+1=0 quad;quad frac{1}{tg(t)}frac{dg}{dt}-2+1=0$$
$$frac{1}{g(t)}frac{dg}{dt}=tquadimpliesquad g(t)=e^{t^2/2}$$
An integrator factor is :
$$mu(x,t)=frac{e^{t^2/2}}{x^2}$$
From this it is easy to solve the ODE. The result is :
$$e^{t^2/2}left(frac{1}{x}+t^2-2 right)=c$$
$$x(t)=frac{-1}{2-t^2+c:e^{-t^2/2}}$$

            Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

            Image
            28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

            Does disintegrating a polymorphed enemy still kill it after the 2018 errata?

On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form?

            A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$
