Find the general solution of the differential equation dy/dt− 2y = 3e^2t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your P(x) is -2... that is your integrating factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

integral -2 dt is -2t, your integrating factor is e^(-2t)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^/pdx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

/=integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still dont understand...can you guys show me the details

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then y*I.F=/q.I.F.dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where are you caught up on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what the integrating factor is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gud 1...; )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one second

http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/DE/Linear.aspx scroll down to example 1 (about 2/5 down the page) and try and follow that that will explain much better than i can do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much:)

another question here Suppose that y1(t) and y2(t) are both solutions to the differential equation dy/dt= a(t)y + b(t). Write down a linear differential equation satisfied by y1(t) + y2(t).
