Quiz 1 / Re: Q1 problem 2 (Night sections)
« on: September 26, 2014, 08:01:30 PM »
I dont use intergrating factor for this problem, instead I use an alternative  approach
y' - 2y = e ^(2t) ---------(1)

 --> z' -2z = 0 (assume the R.H.E. =0), then dz\z=2dt --> ∫dz/z =2dt --> ln |z| = 2t+C1

-->|z| = C1e^(2t) --> z = Ce^(2t), C = ±C1

-->now let C = C(t), such that y= Ce^(2t)--------------(2)

plug (2) into (1), we get C'e^(2t) + 2Ce^(2t)- 2Ce^(2t) = e^(2t) --->C'e^(2t)  = e^(2t)

--->C' = 1 ---> C = t + C2  ---> y = Ce^(2t) = ( t + C2)e^(2t)   ----(3)

now  plug in (0,2) into  (3) -->2 =C2 -->therefore y = ( t + 2)e^(2t)
