Consider the differential equation , where is a polynomial of degree . Show that a particular solution of this equation is given by with ; that is, is
Solve the equation for the rate of growth of bacteria if the rate of increase is proportional to the number present but the population is being reduced at a constant rate by the removal of bacteria for experimental purposes
Suppose the rate at which bacteria in a culture grow is proportional to the number present at any time. Write and solve the differential equation for the number N of bacteria as a function of time t if there are bacteria when . Again note that (except for a change of sign) this is the same differential equation and solution as in the preceding problems.
Use the methods of this section to solve the following differential equations. Compare computer solutions and reconcile differences.
Hint: Let ; then .
The speed of a particle on the x axis, , is always numerically equal to the square root of its displacement x. If when , find x as a function of t. Show that the given conditions are satisfied if the particle remains at the origin for any arbitrary length of time and then moves away; find x for for this case.
