Question

Find the general solution of the differential equation and check the result by differentiation. (Use C for the constant of integration.)

1. dy/dt = 35t^4
2. dy/dx = 5x^(5/7)

Answer 1

1. Y= 7t^5 +C

2. Y= 35/12x^(12/7)+C

Explanation:

The general solution will be determined by integrating the equations as the integration is a simple integration.

For dy/dt = 35t^4

The general solution y

= integral (35t^4)dt

The general solution y

=( 35/(4+1))*t^(4+1)

= 35/5t^5

= 7t^5 +C

To prove by differentiating the above.

Y= 7t^5 +C

Dy/Dt= (5*7)t^(5-1) +0

Dy/Dt= 35t^4

For dy/dx = 5x^(5/7)

Y=integral 5x^(5/7)Dx

Y= 5/(5/7 +1)*x^(5/7+1)

Y= 5/(12/7) *x^(12/7)

Y= 35/12x^(12/7)+C

To prove by differentiating

Y= 35/12x^(12/7)+C

Dy/Dx= (35/12)*(12/7) x^(12/7-1) +0

Dy/Dx=(35/7)x^(5/7)

Dy/Dx= 5x^(5/7)
