Exercise · ZW-DIFFERENTIAL-EQUATION-009 · ★★★ Advanced
Solving \(y'=2y\) means finding:
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. a function \(y(x)\) whose derivative is twice itself
Explanation
The unknown of a differential equation is a function, not a number.
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.
\[F\left(x,\,y,\,y',\,\dots,\,y^{(n)}\right)=0\]
