In problem 7-16, solve the equation. dxdt=txet+2x

The solution of the given differential equation is e2x2x-1+4e-tt+1=C.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Concept of Separable Differential Equation

A first-order ordinary differential equation dydx=fx,y is referred to as separable if the function in the right-hand side of the equation is expressed as a product of two functions gx that is a function of x alone and hy that is a function of y alone.

A separable differential equation can be expressed as dydx=gxhy. By separating the variables, the equation follows dyhy=gxdx. Then, on direct integration of both sides, the solution of the differential equation is determined.

Step 2: Solution of the Equation

The given equation is

dxdt=txet+2x(1)

After separating the variables, equation (1) can be written as

dxdt=txete2xxe2xdx=te-tdt(2)

Integrate both sides of equation (2). It results,

   xe2xdx=te-tdt122xe2xdx=-1-te-tdt
