Original equation:
dy
Using the general solution you got above and the initial conditions of
1
y ( ) =7 plug in for x and 7 for y: 7 = sin ( 3 ( ) ) +2 ( ) + c
3
Solve for c:
7 =0+2 +c=5 =c
1
y= sin ( 3 x )+ 2 x +5
3
Separation of variables
When this happens you get all variables of y on one side and all of x on
dy
the other: y =2 xdx
You then take the integral the same way you would as you solve for the
dy
2
general solution: y = 2 xdx which gives you y=x +c
d2 y
You are given the acceleration equation d x 2 =26 x
conditions of
y ( 0 )=1, y ' ( 0 ) =4
dd xy2 = 26 x
and initial
which comes to be
dy
=2 x3 x 2 +c
dx
dy
=2 x3 x 2 +4
dx
Again, use the initial conditions given, y(0)=1, and plug this in to get c
1=( 0 )2 ( 0 )3 +4 ( 0 ) +c=00+ 0+c=1 as well as the position equation
y=x 2x 3 +4 x +1
dy
=ky
dx
Compound Interest
Say a person is getting continuously compound interest at an
interest rate of 6% with an initial amount of $1000. You start with
dy
the equation dt =0.06 y
dy
= 0.06 dt
y
dy
=o . o 6 dt
y
and get
and
lny=0.06 t+c
y=1000 e 0.06 t
