Exercise · ZW-DIFFERENTIAL-EQUATION-003 · ★☆☆ Basic

Differentiating \(y=Ce^{3x}\) and eliminating the constant \(C\) gives the equation:

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. \(y'=3y\)

← Back to the question

Explanation

Since \(y'=3Ce^{3x}=3y\), the constant disappears. \(y'=Cy\) still contains \(C\).

Review the concept: Differential equation

A differential equation is an equation \(F=0\) whose unknown is a function \(y\) and which relates it to one or more of its derivatives.

\[F\left(x,\,y,\,y',\,\dots,\,y^{(n)}\right)=0\]
