hey guys would really appreciate it if can show me the working in details for this questions.. thanks =)

Solve the following initial value problems

ds/dt = 12t(3t^2-1)^3 , s(1) = 3

and the answer is : s = 1/2 (3t^2 - 1)^4 - 5

  1. Given ds/dt = 12t(3t^2-1)^3

      s = ∫12t(3t^2-1)^3 dt

      

    Let u = 3t^2-1

       du/dt = 6t

    s = ∫12t(3t^2-1)^3 dt

    s = 2∫6t(3t^2-1)^3 dt

    s = 2∫(du/dt)*(u)^3 dt

    s = 2∫(u)^3 du

    s = 2[(u)^4/4]+C

    s = (u)^4/2 + C

    s = [(3t^2-1)^4]/2 + C

    When t=1, s=3,

    3 = [(3-1)^4]/2 + C

    3 = 16/2+c

    3 = 8 + C

    C = 8-3

    C = 5

    So s = [(3t^2-1)^4]/2 + 5

    or

    s = 1/2 (3t^2 - 1)^4 - 5.

    Hope this helps


  2. ds/dt   = 12t(3t^2 -1)^3

    ds =  12t(3t^2 -1)^3 dt

    integrating

    s  = integral 12t(3t^2 - 1)^3

    put x = 3t^2 - 1

        dx =  6t dt

           = 2x^3

    integrating  =   2x^4/4 = 1/2 x^4+c

    s = 1/2 (3t^2 -1 )^4+c

    since s(1) is = 3  we  get

    s(1) = 3 = 1/2(3*1-1)^4 +c

               3 =  8+c

               c = -5

    so

      s = 1/2 (3t^2 - 1)^4 - 5
