Capitolo 8, Problema 8.4.54
Solve the initial value problems in Exercises 53–56 for y as a function of x.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Rewrite the given differential equation in the form \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 - 9}} \) to isolate \( \frac{dy}{dx} \).
Express the differential equation as \( dy = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 - 9}} dx \) to prepare for integration on both sides.
Integrate both sides: \( \int dy = \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 - 9}} dx \). The left side integrates to \( y \), and the right side requires recognizing the integral form.
Recall that \( \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 - a^2}} dx = \ln|x + \sqrt{x^2 - a^2}| + C \). Use this formula with \( a = 3 \) to write the general solution for \( y \).
Apply the initial condition \( y(5) = \ln 3 \) by substituting \( x = 5 \) and \( y = \ln 3 \) into the general solution to solve for the constant \( C \).

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 x and a function of y, allowing variables to be separated on opposite sides of the equation. This enables integration with respect to each variable independently to find the general solution.
