y′(t) = √(y/t)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Rewrite the differential equation \(y'(t) = \sqrt{\frac{y}{t}}\) in Leibniz notation as \(\frac{dy}{dt} = \sqrt{\frac{y}{t}}\) to clearly see the relationship between \(y\) and \(t\).
Recognize that the equation is separable, meaning you can rearrange terms to isolate \(y\) on one side and \(t\) on the other. Start by expressing \(\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{t}}\).
Separate variables by writing \(\frac{dy}{\sqrt{y}} = \frac{dt}{\sqrt{t}}\). This allows you to integrate both sides with respect to their own variables.
Integrate both sides: \(\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{y}} \, dy = \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{t}} \, dt\). Recall that \(\int y^{-1/2} dy = 2\sqrt{y} + C\) and similarly for \(t\).
After integrating, solve the resulting equation for \(y\) to express the general solution explicitly in terms of \(t\) and an arbitrary constant of integration.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Separable Differential Equations

A separable differential equation can be written as a product of a function of t and a function of y, allowing the variables to be separated on opposite sides of the equation. This enables integration with respect to each variable independently to find the general solution.
