Hello!

I am taking a self study diff e course, and I have run into a problem with no one to ask for help.
Here is the problem:

d/dt [ h^3(t) + 3h(t)^2 + 3h(t) ] = q(t)

h(t) is output.
q(t) is input.

is this Nonlinear First Order Differential Equation.
But I could not expand to Taylor Series for linearization... :/

I'm trying to find the transfer function.

Thanks!

It should be basic Calculus that
\frac{d}{dx}(h^3+ 3h^2+ 3h)= q(t)
3h^2\frac{dh}{dt}+ 6h\frac{dh}{dt}+ 3\frac{dh}{dt}= (3h^2+ 6h+ 3)\frac{dh}{dt}= q(t)
Now what is the linearization of that?

Maybe this will help:

h3 + 3 h2 + 3h = (h +1)3 -1
 
Hi !
Why not imtegrate it first ?

Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
