Differential Equation Question:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can i verify if this function is a soution of the given DEquation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i need to eliminate the arbitrary constants first? c sub 1?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

You have P Find 1-P Find the 1st Derivative of P Multiply P and (1-P) See if that last step also creates the derivative.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

no dont eliminate the constants... you could arbitrarily give them a value if it helps let c1 = 1 for example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. im trying to solve it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the first derivative of P is \[(c _{1}e ^{t})/(1+c _{1}e ^{t})\] . is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill try @dumbcow 's idea next. after tkhunny's.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

the denominator should be squared...then its correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right forgot to.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. i got it. answer on deriving it and pluggin it in the equation is the same. Thanks to both of you!

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw. i became a fan :) thanks again
