Really stuck on this question... can somebody please show me the steps? find the general solution of this differential equation... dy/dx= 3x^4 Thanks

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Do you know integration or antiderivatives?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

move the dx to other side, then integrate both sides

i know that the general formula is ; \[y=\int\limits_{?}^{?}f(x)dx=gx+c\] but not sure how to apply it ?

OpenStudy (mr.math):

In our case, you should have: \[y=\int 3x^4dx=\dots\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get from this...\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}dy=\int\limits_{?}^{?}dx/3x ^{4}\] to your solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh right you just plugged it into the formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the final answer says its ... y=\[y=3/5x^5+c\] :s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ dumbcow think i got it! :D

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Correct!
