MHB What Methods Solve This Initial Value ODE?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on solving an initial value ordinary differential equation (ODE). Participants suggest starting with the homogeneous solution as a foundational step. Various methods for solving ODEs, such as separation of variables and integrating factors, are mentioned. The importance of applying initial conditions to find particular solutions is emphasized. Overall, the thread highlights the systematic approach needed to tackle initial value problems in ODEs.
