The discussion revolves around solving the differential equation dy/dx = (2x-y+4)/(4x-2y+1) using the transformation v = 2x - y. Participants are examining the differences between their results and the provided answer, particularly focusing on the implications of constant summands in the context of solutions to differential equations.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing insights into the nature of solutions to differential equations and the role of constants. There is recognition that differing methods may lead to variations in the form of the solution, but no consensus has been reached regarding the necessity of the constant term.
Participants are navigating the implications of constant terms in their solutions, with some questioning the author's approach and the assumptions underlying the transformation used. The context of the homework assignment may impose specific requirements that influence the discussion.
lol , why the author want to dd in another (2/9)(-2) into the answer ? this is confusing ...mfb said:
