Differential Equations. There are many situations in science and business in which variables increase or decrease at a certain rate. A differential equation expresses the rate at which one quantity varies in relation to another.

Differential Equations There are many situations in science and business in which variables increase or decrease at a certain rate. A differential equation expresses the rate at which one quantity varies in relation to another. If the differential equation is solved then a direct relationship between the two variables can be found.
Graphing Differential Equations The expression tells us that the graph of 2x if x = 1 then the gradient is if x = 2 then the gradient is if x = 3 then the gradient is How can this be shown on a diagram? y has a gradient of 2 4 6
ie the gradient equals twice the x coordinate Slope Field Graph Each of the red lines has a gradient equal to twice the x coordinate If the points are joined a family of curves results At every point on the curve the gradient is equal to twice the x coordinate
y = If the gradient is x then to find y we : integrate as integration and differentiation are the : reverse of each other = x2 + C From the slope field graph it can be seen that all the graphs are vertical translations of each other. So C represents a vertical translation
Graphing Differential Equations The expression tells us that the graph of y if y = 1 then the gradient is if y = 2 then the gradient is if y = 3 then the gradient is How can this be shown on a diagram? y has a gradient of 1 2 3
ie the gradient equals the y coordinate Slope Field Graph If the points are joined a family of curves results Each of the red lines has a gradient equal to the y coordinate At every point on the curve the gradient is equal to the y coordinate
If the gradient is x then to find y we : integrate as integration and differentiation are the : reverse of each other So how do we integrate an expression where the gradient depends on y rather than x
Implicit Differentiation Reminder siny = ex + C This must be differentiated using implicit differentiation • When differentiating y’s write dy • When differentiating x’s write dx • Divide by dx
Divide by dx Rearrange to make the subject Implicit Differentiation For example siny = ex + C cosy dy = ex dx
multiply by dx multiply by cosy integrate Reversing the Process Integrating Differentiating siny = ex + C cosy dy = ex dx cosy dy = ex dx siny = ex + C
Finding the constant C siny = ex + CTo find the constant C a boundary condition is needed. If we are told that when x = 0 then y = p/2then we can find C. siny = ex + C Substitute x = 0 and y = p/2 sin p/2 = e0 + C So C = 0 siny = ex y = sin-1(ex)
Slope Field Graph y= sin-1(ex) when x = 0 then y = p/2
when x = 3 y = 0 You try this one ey dy = x2 dx when x = 3 y = 0
Slope Field Graph when x = 3 y = 0
