Solve the following differential equation for the particular
Solve the following differential equation for the particular solution. dy/dx=y(x^2+2) y(0)=2
Solution
dy/dx = y(x^2+2)
seperating the variables we get
dy/y = (x^2+2)dx
Integrating both sides we get
ln(y) = x^3/3 + 2x + C
Now using the initial condition that y(0) = 2, substituting the values we get
ln(2) = 0^3/3 + 2(0) + C
C = ln(2)
Hence the final answer is
ln(y) = 1/3 * x^3 + 2x + ln(2)
