I take it you are or where a metallurgist? You have found some pretty impressive resources, usually it's hard to find such descriptive things on the Internet... it compares quite well with the books I have on it
Homework Statement
Verify that the function is a solution of the DE
Dy = \frac{2y}{x} , y = Cx^2
2. The attempt at a solution
LHS = Dy = D(Cx^2) = 2 Cx
RHS = \frac{2y}{x}
then... I really don't know what to do from there... do I just simply things?
It's been a while, but how would you go about deriving
y = C e^-^5^x
and plug it into this equation
y'' + 4y' - 5y = 0
i can do this without C the answer would be 0, but what do I do with C there?
I'm almost done mech eng in Ottawa.. there where never any girls in our year, but there is one below my year.. and she said she's doing it because where she works she's an electrical engineer, and they've started to need people on more of the mechanical side, so they're paying her to take the...
I was taking notes in class and the prof said that in the equation
y^(double prime)-3y^(prime)+2y = 0 that 2 was the order.. is that due to the following?
the first y = 0 when you take the derivative twice
the second y = 0 when you derive it once
and the first one = 2 when you derive it...
wow.. I see how to do the second one.. its almost like a whole new order of operations to me... you derive first, then square it...
I'm very gracious for you spending your time and effort with me, thank you
