Homework Statement
I have three diff eqs:
a) y'(t) + 2t y(t) = 0
b) y'(t) - 2t y(t) = 0
c) y(t) + y(t) = 0.
I'm trying find which of these diffeqs is solved by
y(t) = 8 E^-t^2 ?
Please Help!

So differentiate [itex]y= 8e^{-t^2}[/itex], plug it into the equations and see if it satisfies any of them!Gspace said:Homework Statement

A differential equation is a mathematical equation that describes the relationship between a function and its derivatives. It is used to model many natural phenomena in science and engineering.
Differential equations are important because they allow us to make predictions and understand the behavior of complex systems. They are used in various fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and biology to model real-world problems.
There are several methods for solving differential equations, including separation of variables, substitution, and the method of integrating factors. Other techniques such as Laplace transforms, power series, and numerical methods can also be used.
The choice of method depends on the type and complexity of the differential equation. Some equations can be solved analytically using known techniques, while others may require numerical methods or computer simulations. It is important to first understand the characteristics of the equation and then choose the most appropriate method.
Yes, differential equations can have multiple solutions. This is because the solutions to a differential equation depend on the initial conditions and parameters involved. Different sets of initial conditions or parameters can result in different solutions to the same equation.
