To solve the differential equation dy/dx = y e7x, we can use the method of separation of variables.
First, rewrite the equation to separate the variables:
dy/y = e7x dx
Now, integrate both sides:
∫(1/y) dy = ∫e7x dx
The left side integrates to:
ln|y|
The right side requires a bit more attention. The integral of e7x is:
(1/7)e7x + C, where C is the constant of integration.
Putting it all together, we have:
ln|y| = (1/7)e7x + C
To eliminate the natural logarithm, we exponentiate both sides:
|y| = e(1/7)e7x + C
This simplifies to:
y = ± e(1/7)e7x} * eC
Finally, let K = ±eC, which is just another constant. Thus, we express the general solution as:
y = K e(1/7)e7x
So, the general solution of the given differential equation is:
y = K e(1/7)e7x
