Category: Differential Equations

"Published in Vacaville, California, USA"

Find the particular solution for


when x = 2; y = 3.

Solution:

Consider the given equation above   


Express y' as dy/dx as follows



By separation of variables, transfer x and dx to the right side of the equation and 1 + y² to the left side of the equation as follows 



Integrate on both sides of the equation, we have





Take the inverse natural logarithm on both sides of the equation, we have 




Substitute the values of x and y in order to solve for C as follows 






Therefore, the particular solution is
