Chapter 6: Q. 36 (page 570)

Use antidifferentiation and/or separation of variables to solve each of the initial-value problems in Exercises 29–52.
36. $\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{6}{x}, y (1) = 7$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The answer is $y (x) = 6 \ln |x| + 7$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

We have been given $\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{6}{x}, y (1) = 7$

Step 2. Solve using antidifferentiation and/or variable separable method.

The differential equation can be solved by antidifferentiating.

$\int d y = \int \frac{6}{x} d x y = 6 \ln |x| + C$

Now put $y (1) = 7$ ,

$7 = 6 \ln 1 + C 7 = C$

So, the answer is $y (x) = 6 \ln |x| + 7$
