8. What is the solution of the differential equation dy/dt = 4y2t3, subject to the condition y(1) = 1?
|
A. y = 1/(2-t4) |
B. y = 2 – 1/t4 |
C. y = t4 |
|
D. y = 1/t4 |
E. y = e^(1-t2) |
Solution: The answer is A
To solve for dy/dt separate the variables and the corresponding differentials as follows,
![]()
![]()
Integrating both sides of the above differential equation, yields,

Using the given initial condition we can solve for c, that is y(1)=1.
![]()
So, the solution of the differential equation is,
![]()
