Question

Find the solution to the differential equation:
(dy/dx) + (y/3)= 0, y(0)=10

Answer 1

seperate the equation with the x's on one side and the y's on the other and then take the derivative of both sides

Answer 2

Can someone help me start it? I'll be able to get it once I get it seperated, but I'm having a hard time starting.

Answer 3

I lost the equation. What was it?

Answer 4

(dy/dx) + (y/3)= 0, y(0)=10

Answer 5

ok. sorry. It is an integral; not a derivative. dy/dx=-y/3
3 dy= -y dx
3/-ydy = 1 dx
then integrate both sides...

Answer 6

then the initial condition y(0)=10 determines the constant

Answer 7

Thank you, I think I got confused by the y(0)= 10.
