Differential Equation: y' = (1-2t)/y with initial Value of y(1) = -2
I get y = sqrt(2t - 2t^2 +4 )
but it says my answer is wrong. I've redone it a few times, and can't pick up where I did wrong.

\[y'=\frac{1-2t}{y}\]

looks like a separation of variables problem
i'm excited! :)
myininaya (myininaya):
\[\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1-2t}{y}\]
myininaya (myininaya):
multiply y on both sides
and multiply by dt on both sides to obtain
\[y dy =(1-2t) dt\]

Yup. Is seperation of variables :3

now integrate both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but I keep getting the same answer ;c
myininaya (myininaya):
\[\int\limits_{}^{} y dy= \int\limits_{}^{}(1-2t) dt\]
myininaya (myininaya):
\[\frac{y^2}{2}=t-t^2+C\]
myininaya (myininaya):
\[y^2=2t-2t^2+C\]

2 times a constant is still a constant so instead of 2c i just wrote c
myininaya (myininaya):
now if t=1 then y=-2
so apply initial condition we obtain
\[(-2)^2=2(1)-2(1)^2+C \]
4=2-2+C
4=C
so we have
\[y^2=2t-2t^2+4\]
myininaya (myininaya):
\[y=\pm \sqrt{2t-2t^2+4}\]

Ah. plus minus. I forgot about that q-q
Thanks :3
myininaya (myininaya):
np
gj to you for doing everything correctly up into that point
lol
i mean you had one solution for y
thats real good
