Forgetting this minus sign can take a problem that is very easy to do and turn it into a very difficult, if not impossible problem so be careful! Integrate both sides the right side requires integration by parts — you can do that right? It is the last term that will determine the behavior of the solution. That will not always happen.
Investigating the long term behavior of solutions is sometimes more important than the solution itself. Suppose that the solution above gave the temperature in a bar of metal. In this case we would want the solution s that remains finite in the long term. Notes Quick Nav Download. Go To Notes Practice and Assignment problems are not yet written. As time permits I am working on them, however I don't have the amount of free time that I used to so it will take a while before anything shows up here.

If your device is not in landscape mode many of the equations will run off the side of your device should be able to scroll to see them and some of the menu items will be cut off due to the narrow screen width.
Example 1 Find the solution to the following differential equation. Example 2 Solve the following IVP. Example 3 Solve the following IVP.
Example 4 Find the solution to the following IVP. Example 5 Find the solution to the following IVP. Now, we just need to simplify this as we did in the previous example. The variables and their derivatives must always appear as a simple first power. Here are some examples. Note, however, that an exception is made for the time variable t the variable that we are differentiating by. We can have any crazy non-linear function of t appear in the equation, but still have an equation that is linear in x.
See the Wikipedia article on linear differential equations for more details. This is another way of classifying differential equations. These fancy terms amount to the following: whether there is a term involving only time, t shown on the right hand side in equations below. The non-homogeneous part of the equation is the term that involves only time. As background, recall one of the simplest types of ODEs mentioned in the introductory page.
However, the product rule is a useful tool in this situation, since in the derivative of a product, each factor is untouched in one of the terms. We are so close to turning the left hand side into the derivative of a product. And I think it is also false in PDE. Show 1 more comment. John Leo John Leo 11 1 1 bronze badge. Upcoming Events.
