Initial Value Problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ dy }{ dt }=-y+5\] with initial value \[y(0) = y_{0}\]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

dy -- = dt 5 - y integrating ln (5 - y) = t + C 5 - y = e ^(t + C) y = 5 - Ae^t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the back of the book has \[y=5t(y _{0}-5)e ^{-t}\] as the answer

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

thats solved the equation but i;m not clear about the y(0) part - i've just started doing these in university

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

sorry - I'm not sure about this

OpenStudy (anonymous):
