Question

dy/dx=y^4-6y^3+5y^2

For what values of y is y increasing? And for what values of y is y decreasing?

Answer 1

if dy/dx >0 ,then y is increasing
if dy/dx <0 ,then y is decreasing

Answer 2

Okay..thanks :) Then what would the constant solutions of the equation be?

Answer 3

constant solution to which equation ?

Answer 4

The equation dy/dx=y^4-6y^3+5y^2

Answer 5

thats a differential equation....and it cannot have constant solution...i think...or i am not sure what constant slotion here means...

Answer 6

Wait never mind I got it...I just do some factoring and set y to 0 :)

Answer 7

ohh...okk

Answer 8

Thanks man for the help! :)

Answer 9

welcome ^_^
