(Lesson 3.1: Solving a Differential Equation.) Consider the differential equation
with
a.
b.
Correct!
c.
. What is the exact formula for ?
This takes a little work. The good news is that you can actually get the true answer using the technique
of separation of variables. We have
so that
,
Which implies
so that , where and are arbitrary constants. Setting implies that
, so that the exact answer is , the answer is , i.e., choice (c).
