23 Post Notes

This document discusses differential equations and provides examples of solving them. A differential equation contains a derivative and must be integrated to solve for the equation of a curve. The first example finds the equation of a curve passing through (2,-4) with slope 3x at any point. The second example gives the acceleration of an object as a(t)=18(t-3)-3 and asks to find the velocity after 2 seconds given an initial velocity of 4 m/s, and to find the position equation given an initial position of -3 m.

23B Differential Equations

A differential equation is an equation that contains a derivative. We will


need to integrate both sides, at some point, to 'undo' the derivative.

EX 1

Find the equation of the curve that goes through the point (2,-4) and
whose slope at any point on the curve is 3x.

EX 4

The acceleration of an object moving along a coordinate line


is a(t)=18(t-3)-3 in meters per second per second.
a) If the velocity at t=0 is 4 meters per second, find the velocity
2 seconds later.
b) If the initial position is -3 m, find an equation for the position
of the object at time, t.
