Question

Can someone show me the step by step solution to this? Find the particular solution for the initial value problem: x(dy/dx)-2y+2=0 y(1)=8

Answer 1

there are many ways to approach it .... what are you familiar with?

Answer 2

the basics are to get it in the form:

y'' + P(x) y = G(x)

then find an integrating factor

Answer 3

another method is in using a Laplace transform

Answer 4

y', not y'' in this case
