the solution to the differential equation dy/dx=10xy with the initial condition y(0)=2 is?
I believe you can just separate the variables
then integrate both side
youll end up with a constant from the integration
would i take out the 10?
no
\[(1/y)9 dy = 10x dx\]
oh okay. so the 10 goes with the x? and the answer choices all have ln or e in them
\[\int\limits (1/y) dy = \int\limits 10xdx\]
the 10 could go on either side but with the x is much easier
okay so far i have ln y=5x^2
That's correct :)
Should add C, though!
according to the answer choices i have, im done yet lol
You need to find y!
yeah i guess. then i got y=5x^2/ln, which should equal e^5x^2 right?
Yep, still don't forget C
then if i plugged in y(0)=2 i would get e^5x^2?
the answer choices are A. ln((5x^2)+2) b.e^5x^2+2 C. e^5x^2+1 D.2 ln(5x^2) E. 2e^5x^2
What did I keep reminding you ? The constant C!
ohhh....i got you know. the constant c would be 2. oh wow i feel stupid now
can you help me with another question?
:) So you know the purpose of initial value now!
Just open the new post!
okay i did. and thank you for your assistance with the last problem
