In the Arctic, if I had 10 vertical meters of 1 degree Celsius water above freezing brought to the surface, how much ice would that melt?

Homework Statement

hallsofIvy: Yes, it's suppose to be y'(t)+ y(t)= 0

Homework Statement I have three diff eqs: a) y'(t) + 2t y(t) = 0 b) y'(t) - 2t y(t) = 0 c) y(t) + y(t) = 0. I'm trying find which of these diffeqs is solved by y(t) = 8 E^-t^2 ? Please Help!

Makes sense. Thanks micromass

Homework Statement y1[t] solves y't]+9.7 y[t]=E^(-0.4 t) Cos[t], with y[0]=0, and y2[t] solves y'[t]+9.7 y[t]=0, with y[0]=1. What numbers p and q do you pick to make y[t]=p y1[t] + q y2[t] solve y'[t]+9.7 y[t]=3 E^(-0.4 t) Cos[t], with y[0]=3...

Homework Statement I was given three plots of solutions for a forced exponential diffeq: y'[t]+1.85 y[t]=0.7t^2 with starter values on y[0] equal to -6, 0,and +7 The three plots eventually merge, how do I give the formula for this parabola? Homework Equations E^(-r t)...

Mark44, That helped. Thanks. What changes when the differential equation is (y^\[Prime])[t]= - 0.2 y[t] + Sin[t] with y[0]=15.3 and I need to come up with the formula for y[t]?

Mark44, So, I can chose whatever co-effiecients I want?...to test it.

Ok. So, y'[Asin(t) + Bcos(t)]+0.2y[Asin(t) + Bcos(t)]=sin[t]?

Would yp= y'[t]+0.2y[t]-sin[t]= Asin(t) + Bcos(t)?

Homework Statement Here is the question: solve y'[t]+0.2y[t]=Sin[t] with y[0]=15.3 How do I come up with a formula for y[t]? Thanks in advance! Homework Equations y[t]= starter+e^-rt The Attempt at a Solution I attempted to solve the equation as is. After doing some algebra...
