$\textsf{ Verify the following given functions is a solution of the differential equation}\\ \\$
$ty'-y=t^2\\$
$y_1(t)=3t+t^2$
\begin{align*}
t(3t+t^2)'-(3t+t^2)&=t^2\\
t(3+2t)-(3t+t^2)&=\\
3t+2t^2-3t-t^2&=\\
t^2&=t^2
\end{align*}

probably too easy

Well, learning Calculus does make some problems easy!
 
I have the equation ##F^x=m\frac {d}{dt}(\gamma v^x)##, where ##\gamma## is the Lorentz factor, and ##x## is a superscript, not an exponent. In my textbook the solution is given as ##\frac {F^x}{m}t=\frac {v^x}{\sqrt {1-v^{x^2}/c^2}}##. What bothers me is, when I separate the variables I get ##\frac {F^x}{m}dt=d(\gamma v^x)##. Can I simply consider ##d(\gamma v^x)## the variable of integration without any further considerations? Can I simply make the substitution ##\gamma v^x = u## and then...
