We started a short unit on solving differential equations today.
I worked two examples in class. The first represented the situation where
"the rate of growth of y is proportional to y"
This is the definition of exponential growth. It translates to
dy / dx = k*y which can be solved to yield y = Ce^(kx)
The second example exemplified the idea of a limiting value. We'll get more practice with these concepts.
Notes for today are posted below.
