Solve the ODE (6+t)dudt+u=6+t(6+t) \frac{d u}{d t} + u = 6+t for t>0t > 0.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given a first-order linear differential equation of the form: (6+t)dudt+u=6+t (6+t) \frac{d u}{d t} + u = 6 + t
2. The variable tt is the independent variable, and u(t)u(t) is the dependent variable.
3. The domain of the solution is restricted to t>0t > 0.

STEP 2

The given differential equation is linear and can be written in the standard form: dudt+P(t)u=Q(t) \frac{d u}{d t} + P(t)u = Q(t) where P(t)P(t) and Q(t)Q(t) are functions of tt.

STEP 3

Identify P(t)P(t) and Q(t)Q(t) from the given differential equation: P(t)=16+t P(t) = \frac{1}{6+t} Q(t)=6+t6+t=1 Q(t) = \frac{6+t}{6+t} = 1

STEP 4

To solve the linear differential equation, we will use an integrating factor, which is defined as: μ(t)=eP(t)dt \mu(t) = e^{\int P(t) dt}

STEP 5

Calculate the integrating factor μ(t)\mu(t) by integrating P(t)P(t): μ(t)=e16+tdt \mu(t) = e^{\int \frac{1}{6+t} dt}

STEP 6

Integrate 16+t\frac{1}{6+t} with respect to tt: 16+tdt=ln6+t \int \frac{1}{6+t} dt = \ln|6+t|

STEP 7

Since t>0t > 0, we can ignore the absolute value in the logarithm: μ(t)=eln(6+t) \mu(t) = e^{\ln(6+t)}

STEP 8

Simplify the integrating factor using the property eln(x)=xe^{\ln(x)} = x: μ(t)=6+t \mu(t) = 6+t

STEP 9

Multiply the entire differential equation by the integrating factor μ(t)\mu(t): (6+t)((6+t)dudt+u)=(6+t)(6+t) (6+t) \left( (6+t) \frac{d u}{d t} + u \right) = (6+t)(6+t)

STEP 10

Notice that the left-hand side of the equation is now the derivative of the product of μ(t)\mu(t) and u(t)u(t): ddt[(6+t)u]=(6+t)(6+t) \frac{d}{dt}[(6+t)u] = (6+t)(6+t)

STEP 11

Integrate both sides with respect to tt: ddt[(6+t)u]dt=(6+t)(6+t)dt \int \frac{d}{dt}[(6+t)u] dt = \int (6+t)(6+t) dt

STEP 12

The left-hand side integrates to (6+t)u(6+t)u: (6+t)u=(6+t)(6+t)dt (6+t)u = \int (6+t)(6+t) dt

STEP 13

Expand the right-hand side and integrate term by term: (6+t)u=(36+12t+t2)dt (6+t)u = \int (36 + 12t + t^2) dt

STEP 14

Integrate each term on the right-hand side: (6+t)u=36t+6t2/2+t3/3+C (6+t)u = 36t + 6t^2/2 + t^3/3 + C where CC is the constant of integration.

STEP 15

Simplify the integrated terms: (6+t)u=36t+3t2+t3/3+C (6+t)u = 36t + 3t^2 + t^3/3 + C

STEP 16

Divide both sides by (6+t)(6+t) to solve for u(t)u(t): u(t)=36t+3t2+t3/3+C6+t u(t) = \frac{36t + 3t^2 + t^3/3 + C}{6+t}

STEP 17

The solution to the differential equation is: u(t)=36t+3t2+t3/3+C6+t u(t) = \frac{36t + 3t^2 + t^3/3 + C}{6+t} where CC is an arbitrary constant that can be determined if an initial condition is given.
Since no initial condition is provided, the solution contains an arbitrary constant CC. This is the general solution to the differential equation.
