SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on indicating transient terms in equations where the dependent variable y equals 1. The key point is the introduction of the constant of integration, represented as 'c', which is necessary for accurately expressing solutions. The equation t = 1 + c or t = 1 + c/μ is established as a valid representation, highlighting the importance of including the constant in the solution process. Additionally, the function e^((e^x^2)/2) should be divided by 'c' when solving for t to maintain mathematical integrity.

how do you "indicate transient terms" when y just equals 1 ?

t is the dependent variable in this problem and I'm told to "indicate transient terms". Well, t=1 so is this a trick question or did I do something wrong?

You seem to have forgotten the "constant of integration". t= 1 is one function satisfying this equation. There are others, involving terms that go to 0 as t goes to infinity.
 


ok, so t = 1 + c
or t = 1 + c/μ ?
Because the c term should've actually been introduced on the 2nd to last line. If that's true, that e^((e^x^2)/2) function should've also been divided by c when solving for t.
