Question #8b242 Calculus Applications of Definite Integrals Solving Separable Differential Equations 1 Answer Eddie Aug 29, 2016 y =1 - 3/(4x^3 -1) Explanation: y' = 4x^2 (y-1)^2, y(0) =1 This is separable: 1/(y-1)^2 y' = 4x^2 int 1/(y-1)^2 y' dx =int 4x^2 dx int 1/(y-1)^2 dy =int 4x^2 dx -1/(y-1) = (4x^3)/3 + C -(y-1) = 1/((4x^3)/3 + C) = 3/(4x^3 + C) y =1 - 3/(4x^3 + C) y(1) = 0 = 1 - 3/(4 + C) 4 + C = 3, C = -1 y =1 - 3/(4x^3 -1) Answer link Related questions How do you solve separable differential equations?
