Find the solution to the ODE y=1.7xyy' = -1.7xy with y(0)=9.6y(0) = 9.6, and evaluate the solution at x=1.3x = 1.3.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The differential equation is given by y=1.7xy y' = -1.7xy .
2. The initial condition is given by y(0)=9.6 y(0) = 9.6 .
3. We are looking for the solution y(x) y(x) that satisfies both the differential equation and the initial condition.
4. We will use separation of variables to solve the differential equation.

STEP 2

Write the differential equation in a form that allows for separation of variables.
y=1.7xy y' = -1.7xy

STEP 3

Separate the variables by dividing both sides by y y and then by x x (assuming y0 y \neq 0 and x0 x \neq 0 ).
1ydy=1.7xdx \frac{1}{y} dy = -1.7x dx

STEP 4

Integrate both sides of the equation with respect to their respective variables.
1ydy=1.7xdx \int \frac{1}{y} dy = \int -1.7x dx

STEP 5

Perform the integration on both sides.
lny=0.85x2+C \ln|y| = -0.85x^2 + C

STEP 6

Exponentiate both sides to solve for y y .
elny=e0.85x2+C e^{\ln|y|} = e^{-0.85x^2 + C}

STEP 7

Simplify the left side and use the property that eA+B=eAeB e^{A+B} = e^A \cdot e^B on the right side.
y=e0.85x2eC |y| = e^{-0.85x^2} \cdot e^C

STEP 8

Since eC e^C is just a constant, we can denote it as C1 C_1 where C1=eC>0 C_1 = e^C > 0 .
y=C1e0.85x2 |y| = C_1 e^{-0.85x^2}

STEP 9

Remove the absolute value by considering that y y can be either positive or negative, which means y=±C1e0.85x2 y = \pm C_1 e^{-0.85x^2} .

STEP 10

Apply the initial condition y(0)=9.6 y(0) = 9.6 to determine the value of C1 C_1 .
9.6=±C1e0.85(0)2 9.6 = \pm C_1 e^{-0.85(0)^2}

STEP 11

Since e0=1 e^0 = 1 , we have:
9.6=±C1 9.6 = \pm C_1

STEP 12

Since C1>0 C_1 > 0 and y(0)=9.6 y(0) = 9.6 is positive, we choose the positive value for C1 C_1 .
C1=9.6 C_1 = 9.6

STEP 13

Write the particular solution with the determined constant.
y(x)=9.6e0.85x2 y(x) = 9.6 e^{-0.85x^2}

STEP 14

Evaluate the solution at x=1.3 x = 1.3 .
y(1.3)=9.6e0.85(1.3)2 y(1.3) = 9.6 e^{-0.85(1.3)^2}

STEP 15

Calculate the exponent 0.85(1.3)2 -0.85(1.3)^2 .
0.85(1.3)2=1.4305 -0.85(1.3)^2 = -1.4305

STEP 16

Evaluate the exponential function.
y(1.3)=9.6e1.4305 y(1.3) = 9.6 e^{-1.4305}

STEP 17

Use a calculator to find the value of e1.4305 e^{-1.4305} to at least three decimal places.
e1.43050.239 e^{-1.4305} \approx 0.239

STEP 18

Multiply the result by 9.6 9.6 .
y(1.3)=9.6×0.239 y(1.3) = 9.6 \times 0.239

STEP 19

Calculate the final result.
y(1.3)9.6×0.2392.2944 y(1.3) \approx 9.6 \times 0.239 \approx 2.2944
The value of the solution at x=1.3 x = 1.3 is approximately 2.294 2.294 to three decimal places.
