Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the general solution of the differential equation dy/dx = 3x^2?
  • Step 1: Start with the given differential equation: dy/dx = 3x^2.
  • Step 2: To find y, we need to integrate both sides of the equation with respect to x.
  • Step 3: Write the integral: y = ∫3x^2 dx.
  • Step 4: Calculate the integral of 3x^2. The integral of x^n is (x^(n+1))/(n+1), so for 3x^2, it becomes 3 * (x^(2+1))/(2+1) = 3 * (x^3)/3 = x^3.
  • Step 5: Add the constant of integration, C, to the result: y = x^3 + C.
  • Step 6: This is the general solution of the differential equation.
