Consider the differential equation give by
\[\left(\begin{matrix}dy \\ dx\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}xy \\ 3\end{matrix}\right)\]
\[\frac{ dy }{ dx } = \frac{ xy }{ 3 }\] this?
Yes, I'm sorry
Plug in the values into the equation and evaluate then.. You have (-1,1) for example. \[\frac{ dy }{ dx } = \frac{ xy }{ 3 } = \frac{ (-1)(1) }{ 3 } = \frac{ -1 }{ 3 }\]
Make sense?
Yea, So I will do that for all of them? What about Find the particular solution y=f(x) to the given differential equation with the initial condition f(0)=4
Yup just do that for all of those.
Is it using the same equation dy/dx = xy/3 ?
Yes it is
dy/dx = xy/3 dy 3 = xy dx integrate both sides.
So that would be y = ±√(x^2 + 1)
Actually wait my bad I set that up wrong.. \[\frac{ dy }{ dx } = \frac{ xy }{ 3 }\] \[\frac{ 1 }{ y } dy = \frac{ x }{ 3 } dx\] Then integrate both sides.
\[\int\limits_{}^{} \frac{ 1 }{ y } dy = \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \int\limits_{}^{} x ~dx\] Do the integration yourself and tell me what you get.
I'm not good with integration........ But (1/2)1 = 0 + C C = 1/2
No..
Then it would be (1/2)y^2 = (1/2)x^2 + (1/2) Right?
that's wrong.
Then how would you do it?
\[\int\limits_{}^{} \frac{ 1 }{ y } dy = \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \int\limits_{}^{} x~dx\] \[\ln(y) = \frac{ x^2 }{ 6 } + C\] Find the general solution from here, I've done the integration, all you need to do is apply logarithm rules from here on... f(0) = 4 Plug that in and you will see that C = 4, and then plug in C back into the general solution to find the particular solution.
Ok, so I will plug in the C but then could you also use the dy and dx equation for this part as well? On the axes provided, sketch a slope field for the given differential equation at the 9 points on the table
I got 20/3 when you plug in 4 for c
All you do is graph the points from the first problem.
Those are the solutions to dy/dx ..
Alright, Thank you, about the graph portions.
I told you to use the logarithm rules to find y = f(x) the ln(y) = x^2/6 + C is NOT done.. you need to still solve for y. THEN you plug f(0) in to solve for the constant C.
Ok that is when you have the C and E come into the equation right
yes, when you solve for y, "e" will be used in the equation.
y = x + C f(0) = 0 + C 1 = C.
no....
No it is going to be y = ℮^(x² / 6 + C)
yes
Leading the final part to be f(x) = 4℮^(x² / 6)
yeah
Thank you for your help!!!!
