SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving the initial value problem defined by the differential equation \(y' - y = 2te^{2t}\) with the initial condition \(y(0) = 1\). The integrating factor used is \(\mu(t) = e^{-t}\), which simplifies the equation to \((e^{-t}y)' = 2te^{t}\). The solution is derived through integration, resulting in \(y = c_1 e^t + 2e^{2t}t - 2e^{2t}\), where \(c_1\) is determined using the initial condition.

$$y'-y=2te^{2t}, \quad y(0)=1$$
$\textit{Find u(x)}$
$$\displaystyle\exp\int -1 dt =e^{ t^{-1}}$$
$\textit{multiply thru with $e^{ t^{-1}}$} $
$$ e^{ t^{-1}}y'- e^{ t^{-1}}y=2te^{t}$$

The integrating factor is:

$$\mu(t)=\exp\left(-\int\,dt\right)=e^{-t}$$

Try that...:)

$\textit{multiply thru with $e^{- t}$} $
$$ e^{-t}y'- e^{-t}y=2te^{t}$$
but still this isn't uv'+u'v

Hi,

Notice that, $\frac{d}{dt}\left(e^{-t}y\right)=e^{-t}y'-ye^{-t}$. I hope you can continue with this hint. :)

$\textit{integrate}$
$$e^{-t}y=\int 2te^{t} \, dt =2e^t (t-1)+c_1$$
$\textit{Divide thru by $e^{-t}y$ and distribute}$
$$c _1e^t+2e^{2t}t-2e^{2t}$$
$$y(0)=c _1e^{(0)}+2e^{2(0)}t-2e^{2(0)}=1+2-2=1$$
