Differential equations? Calculus? Help? solve the differential equation. f'(s)=6s-8s^3, f(2)=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

integrate f'(s) and the solve for c

OpenStudy (shamil98):

pretty much ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to. Could you please help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you in the differential equations course that has the calculus sequence as a prerequisite?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. I am taking calculus, so I have to do the calculus part

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

power rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so you'll want to integrate using the rules x^(n+1)/(n+1)

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

power rule for integration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add one to the exponent, and then divide by the resuilting number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6^1+1/1+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and -8^(3+1)/(3+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

int 6sds = (6s^2)/2 = 3s^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was the second one right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is it (-8s^3)/3 = -2.6s^3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rouault

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shamil98

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2s^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add one to the exponent and divide by the resulting number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right. I'm sorry I didn't read that properly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so now it sets up like this: 3s^2 - 2s^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3s^2 - 2s^4 + C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what do I do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rouault

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So for s = 2 and f(s) = 3 solve for C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C= 23 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can I post one more of these and you could help me please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much for your help, I'll tag you in the other maybe you can help me
