Multiplying through by the integrating factor, \( e^{t^3} dy/dt + 3t^2 e^{t^3} y = 6t^2 e^{t^3} \), compresses to \( d/dt (e^{t^3} y) = 6t^2 e^{t^3} \). Integrating both sides gives \( e^{t^3} y = 2e^{t^3} + C \), resulting in the general solution \( y = 2 + Ce^{-t^3} \).
The given initial-value problem can be addressed using the substitution \( v = xy \) which transforms \( x^2y' + xy = 1 \) into \( xv' + v = 1 \). This is a first-order linear equation and can be rearranged as \( dv/dx + v/x = 1/x \). The integrating factor is \( e^{\int (1/x) dx} = x \). Multiplying through by the integrating factor gives \( d/dx (vx) = 1 \). Integrating \( vx = x + C \), and substituting back \( y = v/x \), results in \( y = 1/x + C/x^2 \). Applying the initial condition \( y(1) = 2 \) results in \( C = 1 \) and the specific solution \( y(x) = 1/x + 1/x^2 \).
The mass \( m(t) \) is modeled by \( m(t) = m_0 e^{-kt} \), where \( m_0 = 50 \). Given \( m(2) = 0.9 \times 50 = 45 \), solve for \( k \) as \( 45 = 50e^{-2k} \), yielding \( k = -\ln(0.9)/2 \). The expression for the remaining mass is \( m(t) = 50e^{-\ln(0.9)t/2} \).
The differential equation \( ty' + 3y = 0 \) can be solved using separation of variables. Rewrite it as \( dy/y = -3 dt/t \), and integrate both sides to obtain \( \ln|y| = -3 \ln|t| + C \). Simplifying gives \( y = Ct^{-3} \). The specific solution depends on initial conditions, which are not provided here .
The differential equation \( dy/dx + 3x^2y = 6x^2 \) is a first-order linear equation. By applying an integrating factor \( \mu(x) = e^{\int 3x^2 dx} = e^{x^3} \), we multiply through by \( e^{x^3} \) to obtain \( e^{x^3} dy/dx + 3x^2 e^{x^3} y = 6x^2 e^{x^3} \). This simplifies to \( d/dx (e^{x^3} y) = 6x^2 e^{x^3} \). Integrating both sides with respect to \( x \) gives \( e^{x^3} y = 2e^{x^3} + C \), and the solution is \( y = 2 + Ce^{-x^3} \).
The differential equation \( dP/dt = k(M - P(t)) \) is solved as a first-order linear differential equation. Rearranging gives \( dP/(M - P) = k dt \). Integrating both sides, \( \int dP/(M - P) = -ln|M - P| \) and \( \int k dt = kt + C \). Solving for \( P \), \( M - P = Ce^{-kt} \). Thus, \( P(t) = M - Ce^{-kt} \), where \( C \) is determined by initial conditions .
The equation \( y′ = (xy - y)/(y + 1) \) can be rewritten as \( y′(y + 1) = x(y - 1) \), allowing separation of variables: \( dy/(y - 1) = x dx/(y + 1) \). By integrating both sides, we get \( \int (y + 1)/(y - 1) dy = \int x dx \), giving a solution involving logarithmic integration. This elaborates to the implicit form \( (y - 1)^2 = 2x^2 + C \). Solving for \( y \) leads to the general solution \( y = 1 \pm \sqrt{2x^2 + C} \).
To find the interval of validity, solve the differential equation by rewriting it as \( y′ = (x^4y^2 - 4y)/x \) which is nonlinear and separable. Separating variables yields \( dy/(y^2 - 4/x) = x^3 dx \). Solving the integral for \( y \) involves determining when the function is continuous. Use initial conditions to find constants and test points of singularity due to \( y = ±2/x \) yielding potential discontinuities. The interval of validity excludes values where the denominator becomes zero. Given \( y(2) = -1 \) and continuity requirements, the calculated interval of validity is \( 0 < x < \infty \).
Given the population growth \( P(t) = P_0 e^{kt} \), where \( P_0 = 2000 \) initially and \( P(4) = 3000 \), we solve for \( k \) from \( 3000 = 2000e^{4k} \), leading to \( k \approx 0.0953 \). To find the hyena population after 10 years, use \( P(10) = 2000e^{10k} \), giving approximately 5587 hyenas .
The differential equation \( y' = 2(25 - y) \) can be solved as a separable equation by rewriting it as \( dy/(25 - y) = 2 dt \). Integrating gives \( -\ln|25 - y| = 2t + C \). Exponentiating results in \( 25 - y = Ce^{-2t} \). Applying the initial condition \( y(0) = 40 \) gives \( C = -15 \), leading to \( y(t) = 25 + 15e^{-2t} \).
