Get started for freeUsing , find the general solution of each of the following differential equations. Compare a computer solution and, if necessary, reconcile it with yours. Hint: See comments just after , and Example 1.
In Problem 33 to 38, solve the given differential equations by using the principle of superposition [see the solution of equation (6.29)]. For example, in Problem 33, solve three differential equations with right-hand sides equal to the three different brackets. Note that terms with the same exponential factor are kept together; thus, a polynomial of any degree is kept together in one bracket.
Verify the statement of Example 2. Also verify that and are solutions of .
For each of the following differential equations, separate variables and find a solution containing one arbitrary constant. Then find the value of the constant to give a particular solution satisfying the given boundary condition. Computer plot a slope field and some of the solution curves.
y = 1When x = 1.
Suppose the rate at which bacteria in a culture grow is proportional to the number present at any time. Write and solve the differential equation for the number N of bacteria as a function of time t if there are bacteria when . Again note that (except for a change of sign) this is the same differential equation and solution as in the preceding problems.
