Trouble getting the same answer as the textbook (separable first order differential equation)

I was trying to resolve the following differential equation: $$ y'=e^x(y+1)^2$$ where $y = y(x)$ and I start to resolve it using the following steps: first we find the solution for when $(y+1)^2=0$ ...

Guess the particular solution to an exponential function`?

Solve this differential equation $y''+2y'+y = e^{-t}$. I got the homogenous solution to be $y_h= (Bt + C)e^{-t}$ But I don't know what my guess to the particular function should be? $Ae^{-t}$ ...

How can I derive $~\frac{d}{dx}\left(\exp\left(\int f\left(x\right)dx\right)\right)=\exp\left(\int f\left(x\right)dx\right)\cdot f\left(x\right)~$?

$$ P:=\text{function which only contains } ~x~ \text{as variable} $$ $$ I:= \exp\left(\int P dx\right) $$ I want to derive the below equation . $$ \frac{ d }{ dx } \left( \exp\left(\int P dx\...

Basic Ordinary Differential Equation

Is this first linear ODE? I'm quite confused because the y is in the position of exponential of e.

Is $y(x)=0$ a solution to the differential equation, $y=y'$?

I think I read or was told that the natural exponential function, $e^x$ is the only solution to $y=y'$, and that it originally was defined by that property. But isn't $y(x)=0$ one too? If so, $e^x$ ...

Is $dX/dt=X(t)$ the correct ODE for $X(t)=e^t$?

For a school project for chemistry I use systems of ODEs to calculate the concentrations of specific chemicals over time. Now I am wondering if $$ \frac{dX}{dt} =X(t) $$ the same is as $$ X(t)=e^...

Why can $e^x$ be defined as the unique function $f(x)$ such that $f(x)=f'(x)$ and $f(0)=1$?

The definition that $e^x$ is the unique function $f(x)$ such that $f(x)=f'(x)$ and $f(0)=1$ has two problems for me: How is $e^x$ the unique function that satisfies this property? $ke^x$ also has ...

Second order differential equation with complex coefficient

I have some doubts about this kind of second - order differential equation, which is used a lot in physics and for which there are many topics (but in this case the situation is a bit different ...

Alternate proof for the derivative of $e^x$ using L'Hospital's rule – is there a generalization?

Before you say you can't use the derivative of a function to prove the derivative of a function, just please see the proof. I created it myself, and was wondering whether this could applied to any ...

What is the derivative of a function of the form $u(x)^{v(x)}$?

So I have a given lets say $(x+1)^{2x}$ in addition to $\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}a^u=a^u\log(a)u'$. I still have to multiply this by the derivative of the inside function $x+1$ correct?

What are differential equations and how do you solve ${dy \over dx}=y$ and find $y$ in terms $x$?

I had been wondering about how to solve the equation $${dy \over dx}=y$$. My progress was to use the chain rule, like setting $$z=2x\;{dy\over dx}={dy\over dz}*{dz\over dx}={dy\over d(2x)}*2=y.$$ Now ...
