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

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!
