5–10. First-order linear equations Find the general solution of the following equations.


v'(y) − v/2 = 14

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the type of differential equation given: it is a first-order linear ordinary differential equation of the form \(v'(y) + P(y)v = Q(y)\), where \(P(y) = -\frac{1}{2}\) and \(Q(y) = 14\).
Find the integrating factor \(\mu(y)\) using the formula \(\mu(y) = e^{\int P(y) \, dy}\). In this case, calculate \(\mu(y) = e^{\int -\frac{1}{2} \, dy}\).
Multiply both sides of the differential equation by the integrating factor \(\mu(y)\) to rewrite the left side as the derivative of the product \(\mu(y) v(y)\).
Integrate both sides with respect to \(y\) to find \(\mu(y) v(y) = \int \mu(y) Q(y) \, dy + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
Solve for \(v(y)\) by dividing both sides by \(\mu(y)\) to express the general solution explicitly.

Integrating Factor Method

This method involves multiplying the entire differential equation by an integrating factor, usually e^(∫P(x)dx), which transforms the left side into the derivative of a product. This allows the equation to be integrated easily to find the general solution.
