The solution of differential equation is
All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for free(a) Show that , and so on; that is, for any positive integral ,
Thus, show that ifis any polynomial in the operator , then .
This is called the exponential shift.
(b) Use to show that .
(c) Replace by , to obtain
This is called the inverse exponential shift.
(d) Using (c), we can change a differential equation whose right-hand side is an exponential times a
polynomial, to one whose right-hand side is just a polynomial. For example, consider
; multiplying both sides by and using (c), we get
Show that a solution of is ; then or use this method to solve Problems 23 to 26.
A substance evaporates at a rate proportional to the exposed surface. If a spherical mothball of radius has radius after 6 months, how long will it take:
(a) For the radius to be ?
(b) For the volume of the mothball to be half of what it was originally?
