Differential Equations: Solutions (Level 3 of 4)

This video continues the exploration of verifying solutions to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and determining appropriate intervals of definition. It includes three examples: verifying a trigonometric function as a solution, using the second derivative for verification, and applying the fundamental theorem of calculus. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding derivatives, trigonometric identities, and the domain of functions. It concludes with a preview of the next video on partial differential equations.

What is the differential equation discussed in the first example?

Explain how to find the first derivative of the function y = 5 * tan(5x).

What is the significance of the Pythagorean identity in the verification process?

Describe the intervals of definition for the function y = 5 * tan(5x).

What steps are involved in finding the second derivative of the function in the second example?

How does the domain of logarithmic functions affect the interval of definition for the second example?

What is the overall interval of definition for the exponential function discussed in the last example?
