2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
This differential equations problem was literally just a problem in using the quadratic equation, and once you figure out the r's, you have your general solution. Now we just have to use our initial conditions. So to know the initial conditions, we need to know y of x, and we need to know y prime of x. Let's just do th...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
Let's just do that right now. So what's y prime? y prime of our general solution is equal to 3 halves times c1 e to the 3 halves x plus, derivative of the inside, 1 half times c2 e to the 1 half x. And now let's use our actual initial conditions. I don't want to lose them. Let me rewrite them down here so I can scroll ...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
And now let's use our actual initial conditions. I don't want to lose them. Let me rewrite them down here so I can scroll down. So we know that y of 0 is equal to 2, and y prime of 0 is equal to 1 half. Those are our initial conditions. So let's use that information. So y of 0, what happens when you substitute x is equ...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
So we know that y of 0 is equal to 2, and y prime of 0 is equal to 1 half. Those are our initial conditions. So let's use that information. So y of 0, what happens when you substitute x is equal to 0 here? You get c1 times e to the 0, essentially, so that's just 1, plus c2, well that's just e to the 0 again because x i...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
So y of 0, what happens when you substitute x is equal to 0 here? You get c1 times e to the 0, essentially, so that's just 1, plus c2, well that's just e to the 0 again because x is 0, is equal to, so this is when x is equal to 0, what is y? y is equal to 2. y of 0 is equal to 2. And then let's use the second equation....
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
And then let's use the second equation. So when we substitute x is equal to 0 in the derivative, so when x is 0, we get 3 halves c1, this goes to 1 again, plus 1 half c2, this is 1 again, e to the 1 half times 0 is e to the 0, which is 1, is equal to, so when x is 0 for the derivative, y is equal to 1 half, or the deri...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
Let's multiply the top equation, I don't know, let's multiply it by 3 halves, and what do we get? We get, I'll do it in a different color, we get 3 halves c1 plus 3 halves c2 is equal to, what's 3 halves times 2? It's equal to 3. And now, let's subtract, well, I don't want to confuse you, so let's just subtract the bot...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
And now, let's subtract, well, I don't want to confuse you, so let's just subtract the bottom from the top, so this cancels out. What's 1 half minus 3 halves? 1 half minus 1 and 1 half. Well, that's just minus 1, right? So minus c2 is equal to, what's 1 half minus 3? That's minus 2 and 1 half, or minus 5 halves. And so...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
Well, that's just minus 1, right? So minus c2 is equal to, what's 1 half minus 3? That's minus 2 and 1 half, or minus 5 halves. And so we get c2 is equal to 5 halves, and we could substitute back to this top equation, c1 plus 5 halves is equal to 2, or c1 is equal to 2, which is the same thing as 4 halves minus 5 halve...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
And so we get c2 is equal to 5 halves, and we could substitute back to this top equation, c1 plus 5 halves is equal to 2, or c1 is equal to 2, which is the same thing as 4 halves minus 5 halves, which is equal to minus 1 half. And now we can just substitute c1 and c2 back into our general solution, and we have found th...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
And it might seem really fancy. We're solving a differential equation, our solution has e in it, and we're taking derivatives, and we're doing all sorts of things. But really, the meat of this problem was solving a quadratic, which was our characteristic equation. And watch the previous video just to see why this chara...
2nd Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations 4 Khan Academy.mp3
And watch the previous video just to see why this characteristic equation works. But it's very easy to come up with the characteristic equation, right? I think you obviously see that y prime turns into r squared, y prime turns into r, and then y just turns into 1, essentially. So you solve a quadratic, and then after d...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
This is a scenario where we take an object that is hotter or cooler than the ambient room temperature and we want to model how fast it cools or heats up. And the way that we'll think about it is the way that Newton thought about it. And it is, Newton's described as Newton's law of cooling. Newton's law of cooling. And ...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
Newton's law of cooling. And in a lot of ways, it's common sense. It states that the rate of change of temperature should be proportional to the difference between the temperature of the object and the ambient temperature. So let me write that in mathematical terms. So Newton's law of cooling tells us that the rate of ...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
So let me write that in mathematical terms. So Newton's law of cooling tells us that the rate of change of temperature, I'll use that with a capital T, with respect to time, lowercase t, should be proportional to the difference between the temperature of the object and the ambient temperature. So that is a mathematical...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
And once again, it's common sense. If something is much, much, much, much hotter than the ambient temperature, the rate of change should be pretty steep. It should be declining in temperature quickly. If something is much, much, much, much cooler, it should be increasing in temperature quickly. And if something is clos...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
If something is much, much, much, much cooler, it should be increasing in temperature quickly. And if something is close, well, maybe the rate, if these two things are pretty close, well, maybe this rate of change shouldn't be so big. Now, I know one thing that you're thinking. It's like, okay, if the temperature is ho...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
It's like, okay, if the temperature is hotter than the ambient temperature, then I should be cooling. My temperature should be decreasing. And a decreasing temperature would imply a negative instantaneous change. So how will this be a negative value in the case where our temperature of our object is greater than our am...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
So how will this be a negative value in the case where our temperature of our object is greater than our ambient temperature? And the way that that would happen is you would have to have a negative K. Now, if you don't like thinking in terms of a negative K, you could just put a negative right over here, and now you wo...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
We'll be getting cooler. If it was the other way around, if our temperature of our object is cooler than our ambient temperature, then this thing is going to be a negative. Well, then the negative of that is going to be a positive. We're assuming a positive K, and our temperature will be increasing. So hopefully, this ...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
We're assuming a positive K, and our temperature will be increasing. So hopefully, this makes some intuitive sense, and our constant K could depend on the specific heat of the object, how much surface area is exposed to it, or whatever else. But now, given this, let's see if we can solve this differential equation for ...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
This is a separable differential equation. So I assume you've had a go at it, so let's now work through it together. So we just have to algebraically manipulate this, so all my Ts and DTs are on one side, or I should say, so all my capital Ts and D capital Ts are on one side, and so this is going to be a little bit mor...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
So one thing I could do is I could divide both sides by capital T minus ambient temperature, minus T sub a. Remember, this is just going to be a constant based on what our ambient temperature is. We're going to assume our ambient temperature doesn't change as a function of time, that there's just, it's just such a big ...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
So if we do that, if we divide both sides by this, we are going to have, so I'm going to divide both sides, let me do this in a new color. If I divide both sides by that, I get one over capital T minus T sub a, and let me multiply both sides times the time differential. So I'm going to have, so that DT, DT, so our temp...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
So once again, to separate the variables, all I did is divide both sides by this, and multiply both sides by that. Now I can integrate both sides. We've seen this show before. So I can integrate both sides, and the integral of this is going to be the natural log of the absolute value of what we have in the denominator....
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
So I can integrate both sides, and the integral of this is going to be the natural log of the absolute value of what we have in the denominator. You could do U substitution if you want. If we said U is equal to capital T minus T sub a, then DU is just going to be one DT, and so this is essentially, you could say the in...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
So this is the natural log of the absolute value of capital T minus T sub a is equal to, and once again, I could put a constant here, but I'm going to end up with a constant on the right-hand side too, so I'm just going to merge them into the constant on the right-hand side. So that is going to be equal to, now here, t...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
Let me do that in that same blue color. We can write this as the absolute value of T minus T sub a is equal to E, something about E I always think of the color green, E to the negative KT plus C, plus C. This, of course, is the same thing as this is equal to E to the negative KT. We've done this multiple times before. ...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
Negative KT times E to the C, times E, let me do that in that same, so times E to the C power, and we could just call this, well, we could just call this another arbitrary constant. Let's see, if we call this C1, then we could just call this whole thing C. So this, we could say, is CE, CE to the negative KT, negative K...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
Instead of just temperature on this left-hand side, we have temperature minus our ambient temperature. And so we can do a couple of things. If in a world, in a world, say, where we're dealing with a hot cup of tea, something that's hotter than the ambient temperature, so we could imagine a world where T is, let's say, ...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
So that means this is hot, or it's hotter, I guess we could say. So if we're dealing with something hotter than the ambient temperature, then this absolute value is going to be positive, or the thing inside the absolute value is going to be positive. So we don't need the absolute value, or the absolute value of it's go...
Newton's Law of Cooling First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
And then we could just add TA to both sides, T sub A to both sides, and then we would have our temperature, and I could even write this, as a function of time, is going to be equal to this business, is going to be equal to CE, let me do that in the same color, CE to the negative KT, negative KT plus T sub A, plus T sub...
Differential equation introduction First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3

They're saying, okay, can I find functions where the second derivative of the function plus two times the first derivative of the function is equal to three times the function itself? So just to be clear, these are all essentially saying the same thing. And you might have just caught from how I described it that the so...
Differential equation introduction First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
It's not just a value or a set of values. So the solution here, so the solution to a differential equation is a function, or a set of functions, or a class of functions.

So that's y one. So the first derivative of y one, well, this is going to be, let's see, we just have to do the chain rule here, derivative of negative 3x with respect to x is just negative three, and the derivative of e to the negative 3x with respect to negative 3x is just e to the negative 3x. And if we take the sec...

So y one is indeed a solution to this different...

So let's evaluate this. But I want to evaluate this in this video, because I want to show you that this isn't just some abstract thing, that you can actually evaluate these functions. So the first thing I want to do, I mean, I don't know what the antiderivative of this is. It's tempting. You see a sine and a cosine, ma...

It's tempting. You see a sine and a cosine, maybe they're the derivatives of each other, but this is a sine of t minus tau. So let me rewrite that sine of t minus tau, and we'll just use the trig identity, that the sine of t minus tau is just equal to the sine of t times the cosine of tau minus the sine of tau times th...

And let's see, t and tau and tau and t, everything's working so far. So let's see, so then that's dt. I have to be very careful here. Now let's distribute this cosine of tau out. And what do we get? We get this is equal to, so f convoluted with g, I guess we'll call it f star g, it's equal to the integral from 0 to t o...

Now let's distribute this cosine of tau out. And what do we get? We get this is equal to, so f convoluted with g, I guess we'll call it f star g, it's equal to the integral from 0 to t of sine of t times cosine of tau times cosine of tau. I'm just distributing this cosine of tau. So it's cosine squared of tau. And then...

I'm just distributing this cosine of tau. So it's cosine squared of tau. And then minus, let's rewrite the cosine of t first. And I'm doing that because we're integrating with respect to tau. So I'm just going to write my cosine of t first. So cosine of t times sine of tau times the cosine of tau, d tau. And now since ...

And I'm doing that because we're integrating with respect to tau. So I'm just going to write my cosine of t first. So cosine of t times sine of tau times the cosine of tau, d tau. And now since we're taking the integral of really two things subtracting from each other, let's just turn this into two separate integrals. ...

Well to simplify it more, remember we're integrating with respect to, let me be careful here, we're integrating with respect to tau. I wrote a t there. We're integrating with respect to tau. So all of these, this cosine of t right here, that's a constant, the sine of t is a constant. For all I know, t could be equal to...

So all of these, this cosine of t right here, that's a constant, the sine of t is a constant. For all I know, t could be equal to 5. It doesn't matter that one of the boundaries of our integration is also a t. That t would be a 5. In which case, these are all just constants. We're integrating only with respect to the t...

In which case, these are all just constants. We're integrating only with respect to the tau. So if cosine of 5, that's a constant. We can take it out of the integral. So this is equal to sine of t times the integral from 0 to t of cosine squared of tau, d tau, and then minus cosine of t, that's just a constant, I'm bri...

We can take it out of the integral. So this is equal to sine of t times the integral from 0 to t of cosine squared of tau, d tau, and then minus cosine of t, that's just a constant, I'm bringing it out, times the integral from 0 to t of sine of tau, cosine of tau, d tau. Now this antiderivative is pretty straightforwar...

You could do u substitution. And let me do it here. Instead of doing it in our head, this is a complicated problem, so we don't want to skip steps. If we set u is equal to sine of tau, then du d tau is equal to the cosine of tau, just the derivative of sine. Or we could write that du is equal to cosine of tau d tau. An...

If we set u is equal to sine of tau, then du d tau is equal to the cosine of tau, just the derivative of sine. Or we could write that du is equal to cosine of tau d tau. And then of course, we'll undo the substitution before we evaluate the endpoints here. But this one's a little bit more of a conundrum. I don't know h...

So to do this, we're going to break out some more trigonometric identities. And in the video I just recorded, it might not be the last video in the playlist, I showed that the cosine squared of tau, I'm just using tau as an example, is equal to 1 half times 1 plus the cosine of 2 tau. And once again, this is just a tri...

So we can make this substitution here. And then let's see what our integrals become. So this first one over here, let me just write it here. We get sine of t times the integral from 0 to t of this thing here. I could just take the 1 half out. So let me just, to keep things simple, so I'll put the 1 half out here, that'...
