In summary, an ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation) is a mathematical equation that describes the relationship between a function and its derivative. To solve an ODE, you need to find the function that satisfies the equation, which can be done through various methods such as separation of variables, substitution, or using an integrating factor. The notation y' represents the derivative of the function y with respect to its independent variable, usually denoted by x. This ODE can be solved using the separation of variables method, and it is possible for an ODE to have multiple solutions due to the introduction of arbitrary constants during the process of solving.

Introduce the new function: u(x)=4x+y(x)+1
Then, you have:
[tex]\frac{du}{dx}=4+\frac{dy}{dx}=4+u^{2}[/tex]
The diff.eq in u is separable.

Hello,

To solve this ODE, you can use the method of separation of variables. First, we can rewrite the equation as dy/dx = (4 + y + 1)^2 = (5 + y)^2. Then, we can separate the variables by taking the inverse of both sides and integrating: 1/(5+y)^2 dy = dx.

To integrate the left side, we can use the substitution u = 5 + y, which gives us du = dy. Substituting this into the integral, we get 1/u^2 du = dx. Integrating both sides, we get -1/u = x + C, where C is the constant of integration.

Substituting back in for u, we get -1/(5+y) = x + C. Solving for y, we get y = -5 - 1/(x+C). Therefore, the general solution to the ODE is y = -5 - 1/(x+C), where C is a constant.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
 

1. What is an ODE?

An ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation) is a mathematical equation that describes the relationship between a function and its derivative. In simpler terms, it is an equation that involves the rate of change of a function.

2. How do you solve an ODE?

To solve an ODE, you need to find the function that satisfies the equation. This can be done through various methods such as separation of variables, substitution, or using an integrating factor. The specific method used depends on the type of ODE and its initial conditions.

3. What does the notation y' mean?

The notation y' represents the derivative of the function y with respect to its independent variable, usually denoted by x. In other words, it represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

4. How do you solve the ODE y' = (4 + y +1)^2?

This ODE can be solved using the separation of variables method. First, rewrite the equation as y' = (4 + y +1)^2 = (5 + y)^2. Then, use the substitution u = 5 + y to get y' = u^2. Next, integrate both sides with respect to u and then substitute back for y to get the general solution y = -5 + 2/(c - x), where c is a constant.

5. Can an ODE have multiple solutions?

Yes, an ODE can have multiple solutions. This is because the process of solving an ODE involves integrating both sides of the equation, which can lead to the introduction of arbitrary constants. These constants can result in different solutions for the same ODE, depending on the initial conditions given.
