Initial Value Problem

[robierob12]

Im having a little issue figuring out this intial value problem.


Solve the Initial Value Problem
y' = (3x^2)/[(3y^2)-4] where y(0)=1

Looks like I can solve it as a seperable DE.

dy/dx = (3x^2)/[(3y^2)-4]

[(3y^2)-4] dy = (3x^2) dx

Integrating both sides.....

(y^3) - 4y = (x^3) + c

I don't see how to get this in terms of y = (explicitly)
to find my c...

Am I just missing some easy algebra or did I use the worng method for this one?


Thanks,
Rob

y' = \frac{3x^2}{3y^2-4}
So,
(3y^2-4)y' = 3x^2
Integrate,
\int (3y^2-4)y' dx = \int 3x^2 dx.
That means,
y^3 - 4y = x^3 + C
Now at x=0 it means y=1.
Use this to find C and complete the problem.

It's funny sometimes how easy something can end up being... just pluging in a point.
