Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition of the differential equation

Consider the differential equation dydx=kx with initial value x0(k is an arbitrary constant). The solution is . x(t)=x0ekt

The solution of the linear differential equation dydx=kx and y(0)=C is .y=Cekx

Step 2: Calculation of the Solution

Given the differential equation dPdt=0.03P with the initial condition P(0)=7 .

Substitute in the solution y=Cekx as follows:

y=Cekxy=7e0.03t

Hence, the solution for the differential equation dPdt=0.03P is y=7e0.03t.

Step 3: Graphical representation of the solution

The graph of the equation y=e0.03t is sketched below as follows:
