Separation of Variables
Steps to solving a differential equation: Separate variables Integrate both sides Thatβs it. X only Y only Both ππ¦ ππ₯ =5β8π₯ ππ¦ ππ₯ =6βπ¦ π¦β²=π₯(1+π¦)
4
Challenge Try this one: π₯π¦+ π¦ β² =100π₯
5
Proportionality If two things are proportional, they are related by a constant of proportionality Example: Hookeβs Law says πΉ=βππ₯ Force is proportional to displacement, (πΉ~π₯) when considering a constant of proportionality that depends on the material of the spring
6
Direct vs. Inverse Proportionality
Directly Proportional Inversely Proportional π¦~π₯ Or π¦=ππ₯ Ex. The rate of change of P with respect to t is inversely proportional to the square root of t π¦~ 1 π₯ Or π¦= π π₯ Ex. The rate of change of M with respect to x is proportional to 25-t
7
Finding Particular Solutions
Just like what we did before. Just more practice! Find the particular solution to the differential equation π¦ β² = 2π₯ π¦ that goes through the point (2, 5)
