Question
dy
— ау — b
dt
(1)
(a) Solve the simpler equation
dy
ay
(2)
dt
Call the solution y1(t).
(b) Observe that the only difference between equations (1) and (2) is the constant, -b in
equation (1). Therefore, it may seem reasonable to assume that the solutions of these two
equations also differ only by a constant. Test this assumption by trying to find a constant
k such that y = Y1(t) + k is a solution of equation (1).
