Exercise: first-order linear differential equation












1












$begingroup$


This is a first-order linear differential equation:



$$y' = -ky + p$$



where $k$ and $p$ are constant. Based on my calculations, the solution is



$$y(x) = y(0) cdot exp^{-kx} + ; dfrac{p}{k}$$



while my teacher's file says



$$y(x) = dfrac{p}{k} + left[y(0) - dfrac{p}{k} right] exp^{-kx}$$



Which one is the right one?



Thank you in advance

    Could you maybe add the initial condition? Without one cannot really determine which solution is the right one.

The general solution is given by $$y(x)=frac{p}{k}+Ce^{kx}$$ and now you will $$y(0)=frac{p}{k}+C$$ to compute $$C$$

    The solution given by your teacher is the right one. Assuming that the intial condition is given by $y(0)=y_0$ we get the following



    begin{align}
    y'&=-ky+p\
    y'&=-kleft(y-frac pkright)\
    frac{y'}{y-frac pk}&=-k\
    int frac{mathrm dy}{y-frac pk}&=-kintmathrm dx\
    logleft(y-frac pkright)&=-kx+c\
    y-frac pk&=ce^{-kx}\
    end{align}




    $$therefore~y(x)~=~ce^{-kx}+frac pk$$




    Determining the constant $c$ by using $y(0)=y_0$ we get



    $$y(0)=c+frac pk=y_0Rightarrow~c=y_0-frac pk$$




    $$therefore~y(x)=frac pk+left[y_0-frac pkright]e^{-kx}$$




    I cannot really tell where you went wrong but it is easy to check that your solution does not fulfill the initial condition since



    $$y(x)=y_0e^{-kx}+frac pkRightarrow y(0)=y_0+frac pkcolor{red}neq y_0$$

      Firstly, this is first-order.



      We let $$y'+ky=p$$
      Then use an integrating factor:



      $$IF=e^{int k dx}=e^{kx}$$



      Then the trick:
      $$ycdot IF =int{IFcdot RHS dx}$$
      $$to ye^{kx}=int{pe^{kx} dx}$$
      $$to y=frac pk +Ce^{-kx}$$



      You appear correct therefore, unless the initial condition changes something.

                      Firstly, this is first-order.



                      We let $$y'+ky=p$$
                      Then use an integrating factor:



                      $$IF=e^{int k dx}=e^{kx}$$



                      Then the trick:
                      $$ycdot IF =int{IFcdot RHS dx}$$
                      $$to ye^{kx}=int{pe^{kx} dx}$$
                      $$to y=frac pk +Ce^{-kx}$$



                      You appear correct therefore, unless the initial condition changes something.

                      How to label and detect the document text images

                      Image
                      1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

                      Tabula Rosettana

                      Image
                      Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
