Question

Solve it ... if you can :)

f(x) + f´(x) = x³ + 5x² + 2

Answer 1

\[\large f(x) = x^{3}+2x^{2}-4x+6+Ce^{-x}\]

Answer 2

Nope, that's not the answer , and don't try integration.

Answer 3

really, oh ok i just solved it like it was a linear ODE

Answer 4

actually it is right

Answer 5

No , it's not . the function doesn't contain any unknown but "x".

Answer 6

? C is just a constant, you have to provide an initial value or a point to get a particular solution

Answer 7

f(x) + f´(x) = x³ + 5x² + 2
so x³ + 5x² + 2 is the function plus its derivative
so you you have to extract from x³ + 5x² + 2 a function and it's derivative

x³ is the highest power , so it must belong to f(x)

so f(x) = x³ +... and f´(x) = 3x²+...

so f(x) = x³ + 2x²+... , so that 2x² + 3x² = 5x²+...

and f´(x) = 3x² + 4x+...

so f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 4x+... , so that -4x+4x =0

f´(x) = 3x² + 4x-4

f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 4x + 6 so that -4+6 = 2

f(x) + f´(x) = (x³+2x²-4x+6 )+ (3x²+4x-4) = x³+5x²+2

Answer 8

oh i see you solved it intuitively, well we are both correct if i make C=0
your answer is only 1 of many possible solutions to the differential equation

Answer 9

great work though :)

Answer 10

thank you :)
