Differential Equations and Solutions

The video tutorial explains how to solve a differential equation where x' equals 1 divided by x squared, assuming the independent variable is t. The process involves transforming the equation using the inverse function theorem, integrating both sides with respect to X, and determining the constant C for the particular solution. Finally, the equation is solved for X as a function of t, providing a complete solution to the differential equation.

What is the initial form of the differential equation given in the problem?

• x Prime equals one divided by x

• x Prime equals x cubed

• x Prime equals one divided by x squared

• x Prime equals x squared

Why is it not helpful to integrate both sides of the equation with respect to t initially?

• Because the function of x is on the right side

• Because the function of t is on the right side

• Because the function of x is on the left side

• Because the equation is already solved

What theorem is used to transform the differential equation?

• Intermediate Value Theorem

• Mean Value Theorem

• Inverse Function Theorem

• Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

What is the result of integrating x squared with respect to x?

• x to the power of five divided by five

• x squared divided by two

What is the particular solution expressed as t as a function of x?

• T of x equals x cubed plus five

• T of x equals x cubed minus five

• T of x equals one-third x cubed minus five thirds

• T of x equals one-third x cubed plus five thirds

What operation is performed to clear the fractions from the equation?

• Divide both sides by three

• Add three to both sides

• Subtract three from both sides

• Multiply both sides by three

What is the final form of x as a function of t?

• Three t plus five squared

• The square root of three t plus five

• The cube root of three t plus five

• Three t plus five cubed

Why is there no plus or minus sign included when taking the cube root?
