Title: LEC 0201 question (W2L2)
Post by: Shujun Fan on September 18, 2020, 10:42:46 PM

For another question, I've calculated this problem by using another method, which I think it makes sense,
but when I compared it to the slides, this is completely wrong, can somebody help me with it?

Any help would be appreciated.

I think you didn't do the partial fraction decomposition correctly, 1/y(y-1) = -1/y + 1/(y-1). I got 1/(1-ce^x) as my general solution

Yeah, I didn't do the partial fraction decomposition correctly, but the step after that is correct.
I still got the same answer again and again, but not the given one in the lecture slides:(
