I would like to solve:
In order to do so, we let , and we assume x as a function of t. Now, we take derivative with respect to t from the differential equation, and obtain
By the chain rule, we have: . So, the above simplifies to
That is, we have: . Thus, we obtain
Now, if we want to verify the solution, it turns out that C must be zero, in other words, satisfies the original differential equation.
I have two questions:
1) What happens to the integration constant? That is, what is the general solution of the differential equation?
2) If we try to solve this differential equation with Mathematica, we obtain
,
which has a different form from the analytical approach. How can we also produce this result analytically?
