Explanation
This question is similar to Example 17 from the textbook. The student needs to identify it as a linear differential equation, find the integrating factor, integrate to find the general solution, and then apply the boundary condition to find the particular solution.
Solution Steps
Step 1: The given equation is a linear differential equation of the type
where and .
Step 2: Find the Integrating Factor (I.F.):
Step 3: The solution is given by
Since , we get
Step 4: Using the condition when :
which gives
Step 5: Substituting back:
or
∴ The particular solution is .
