Explanation:
*Note:
When solving differential equations in slope fields, disregard the integration constant C for variable y.
Step 1: Define
\(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = (2x - 1)y\)
\(\displaystyle y(1) = e\)
Step 2: Rewrite
Separation of Variables. Get differential equation to a form where we can integrate both sides and rewrite Leibniz Notation.
- [Separation of Variables] Rewrite Leibniz Notation: \(\displaystyle dy = (2x - 1)y \ dx\)
- [Separation of Variables] Isolate y's together: \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{y} \ dy = (2x - 1) \ dx\)
Step 3: Find General Solution
- [Differential] Integrate both sides: \(\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{y}} \, dy = \int {(2x - 1)} \, dx\)
- [dy Integral] Integrate [Logarithmic Integration]: \(\displaystyle ln|y| = \int {(2x - 1)} \, dx\)
- [dx Integral] Rewrite [Integration Property - Addition/Subtraction]: \(\displaystyle ln|y| = \int {2x} \, dx - \int {} \, dx\)
- [1st dx Integral] Rewrite [Integration Property - Multiplied Constant]: \(\displaystyle ln|y| = 2\int {x} \, dx - \int {} \, dx\)
- [dx Integrals] Integrate [Integration Rule - Reverse Power Rule]: \(\displaystyle ln|y| = 2(\frac{x^2}{2}) - x + C\)
- Simplify: \(\displaystyle ln|y| = x^2 - x + C\)
- [Equality Property] e both sides: \(\displaystyle e^\bigg{ln|y|} = e^\bigg{x^2 - x + C}\)
- Simplify: \(\displaystyle |y| = Ce^\bigg{x^2 - x}\)
- Rewrite: \(\displaystyle y = \pm Ce^\bigg{x^2 - x}\)
General Solution: \(\displaystyle y = \pm Ce^\bigg{x^2 - x}\)
Step 4: Find Particular Solution
- Substitute in function values [General Solution]: \(\displaystyle e = \pm Ce^\bigg{1^2 - 1}\)
- Simplify: \(\displaystyle e = \pm C\)
- Rewrite: \(\displaystyle C = e\)
- Substitute in C [General Solution]: \(\displaystyle y = e \bigg( e^\bigg{x^2 - x} \bigg)\)
- Simplify [Exponential Rule - Multiplying]: \(\displaystyle y = e^\bigg{x^2 - x + 1}\)
Particular Solution: \(\displaystyle y = e^\bigg{x^2 - x + 1}\)
Step 5: Solve
- Substitute in x [Particular Solution]: \(\displaystyle y(2) = e^\bigg{2^2 - 2 + 1}\)
- Simplify: \(\displaystyle y(2) = e^3\)
∴ our final answer is \(\displaystyle y(2) = e^3\).
