does anyone understand Differential equations

OpenStudy (lalaly):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

einstein did i think

OpenStudy (amistre64):

newton faked it lol

OpenStudy (mr.math):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just begun D.E. and i am totally lost. find a function, y=f(x) satisfying the given differential equation and the prescribed initial condition. dy/dx= 2x+1; y(0)=3 where do i start

OpenStudy (amistre64):

with integration id assume

OpenStudy (lalaly):

multiply both sides by dx .. then integrate both sides

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[y' = 2x+1\] \[\int y' = \int 2x+1\] \[y=x^2+x +C\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

plug in x=0 and y=3 to solve for C

OpenStudy (lalaly):

this is a seperable DE

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah, semantics :)

OpenStudy (lalaly):

:D:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you do these just like seperable this is 2 sections before seperable

OpenStudy (lalaly):

Initial Value problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

intergrals as general and particular solutions

OpenStudy (lalaly):

forget what i said, its done the way amistre showd u

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yay!!

OpenStudy (lalaly):

hehehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok appreciate it!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[Y(x)=\int y'\ dx\] \[Y(x)=\int (2x+1)dx\] stuff like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it just shows you the equation and intial condition and you have to choose what to do. So when you work it out it becomes what you are doing with the integral

OpenStudy (lalaly):

\[\frac{dy}{dx}=2x+1\]\[dy=(2x+1)dx\]now integrate both sides\[\int\limits{dy}=\int\limits{(2x+1)dx}\]\[y=x^2+x+c\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, just like that, thanks,

OpenStudy (lalaly):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help with intergals, it has been 2 yrs since i have done them. x times sq. root of x^2+9

OpenStudy (lalaly):

let u=x^2+9 du=2x so integration becomes\[\frac{1}{2} \int\limits{ \sqrt u}du\]

OpenStudy (lalaly):

integrate sqrt u then substitute the x back

OpenStudy (lalaly):

du=2xdx **

OpenStudy (lalaly):

I am really sorry, i have to leave now. Post a new question and someone else could help you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is \[^{?} \int\limits_{?}^{?} xe ^{-x}\] u substitution or by parts integral

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or simply recognize that your missing a -1 in front

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i missed read it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

by parts with that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (amistre64):

e^-x + x -e^-x | -1 e^-x | = x e^-x - e^-x +0 -----

OpenStudy (amistre64):

+C if youaint got bounds

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i missed a negative on there .... bad fingers, bad!!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[-xe^{-x}-e^{-x}\ or\ -e^{-x}(x+1)\]
