Can someone show me how to do this equation? I know what the answer is, but wolfram alpha is not showing me enough work. I want to know how to do this
dy/dx = (y 1)^2 + 0.04, y(0)=1
This is a separable DE, and the solution im looking for is
y=1/5tan(x/5)+1
Solution
dy/dx = (y 1)^2 + 0.04
=>
dy/[(y-1)^2+0.2^2] = dx
integration both sides
1/0.2 arctan( (y-1)/0.2 ) = x+c
since integration of 1/a^2+x^2 = 1/a arcttan(x/a)
=>
(y-1)/0.2 = tan(0.2(x+c))
y(0)=1
=>
1-1/0.2 = tan(0.2c)
=>
c =0
=>
y-1/0.2 = tan(0.2x)
=>
y = 0.2 tan(0.2x) + 1
= 1/5 tan(x/5) + 1
