Chapter 6 Integration Section 3 Differential Equations; Growth and Decay
2 Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Learning Objectives for Section 6.3 Differential Equations, Growth, Decay ■ The student will be able to: ■ Identify differential equations. ■ Solve continuous compound interest problems using differential equations. ■ Solve problems involving exponential growth and decay using differential equations.
3 Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Differential Equations A differential equation contains derivatives. First order differential equations contain only first derivatives Second order differential equations contain second derivatives (and possibly first derivatives) Examples:
4 Steps for Solving Differential Equations 1.Separate the “like variables” on opposite sides of the equation. 2.Integrate both sides. 3.Solve for y Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Note that the constant C on the left side gets combined with the constant on the right side into a single constant.
5 Example 1 Solve the differential equation using the steps mentioned. Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Rewrite the log equation as an exponential equation:
6 Example 2 Solve for the particular equation that satisfies: Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Rewrite the log equation as an exponential equation: Solve for C:
