I am trying to solve a differential equation using DSolve:

DSolve[y'[t] == t^10 eps^-y[t], y[t], t]

And get the following output:

{{y[t] -> Log[-(-(t^11/11) - C[1]) Log[eps]]/Log[eps]}}

Is there any way to get Mathematica to automatically reduce Log[eps] to one? Or

Improve this question

    $\begingroup$ What are you expecting to happen to the expression? The first $\log(\epsilon)$ is inside the numerator's $\log$, and the second is not, so there isn't a term which will just cancel. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Well Log(ϵ) is in the denominator and the value is 1, so I am wondering why its shown at all. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Are you perhaps confusing $\epsilon$ with Euler's constant $e$? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You are absolutely correct, I misread and confused the two. Thanks for clearing it up! $\endgroup$
