1. Use separation of variables to find the solution to the differential equation subject to the given initial condition. dy/dx = 5y/x, y = 4 while x = 1
2. Find the solution to the differential equation, subject to the given initial condition.
4(du/dt) = u^2, u(0) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the differential equation dy/dx = 5y/x subject to the condition y = 4 and x = 1. Using the variable separable method of solving differential equation, we will have;

dy/dx = 5y/x

Separate the variables

dy/5y = dx/x

Integrate both sides of the expression

using the initial condition y = 4 while x = 1

ln4 = 5ln1 + 5C

ln4 = 0+5C

C = ln4/5

Substituting the value of C back into the expression;

Hence the solution to the differential equation is y = 4x⁵

b) Given 4(du/dt) = u²

du/dt = u²/4

du/ u² = dt/4

u⁻²du = 1/4 dt

integrate both sides of the equation

Imputing the initial condition u(0) = 7 i.e when t = 0, u = 7

Hence the solution to the DE is

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
