Answers to Questions (FAQ)

How to calculate a differential equation on dCode?

The equation must follow a strict syntax to get a solution in the differential equation solver:

— Use ' to represent the derivative of order 1, ' ' for the derivative of order 2, ' ' ' for the derivative of order 3, etc.

Example: f' + f = 0

— Do not indicate the variable to derive in the diffequation.

Example: f(x) is noted f and the variable x must be specified in the variable input.

Example: $ f' + f = 1 \Rightarrow f(x) = c_1 e^{-x}+1 $ with $ c_1 $ a constant

— Only the function is differentiable and not a combination of function

Example: (1/f)' is invalid but 1/(f') is correct

What is a differential equation? (definition)

How to add initial values/conditions?

It is possible to add one or more initial conditions in the corresponding box by adding the logical operator && between 2 equations.

Example: Write f'(0)=-1 && f(1)=0

How to find values of constants c?

Use known information about the function and its derivative(s) as the initial conditions of the system.

Example: The position of an object is $ h $ at the start of an experiment, write something like $ f (0) = h $

Example: Object speed is $ 0 $ after $ n $ seconds, write something like $ f'(n) = 0 $

What are the notations of the differential equations?

There are multiple notations for a function f:

Example: $$ f'(x) = \frac{\mathrm{d} f(x)}{\mathrm{d}x} $$

Example: $$ f''(x) = \frac{\mathrm{d}^2 f(x)}{\mathrm{d}x^2} $$

The apostrophe indicates the order/degree of derivation, the letter in parenthesis is the derivation variable.

The exponent indicates the order/degree of derivation, the letter of the denominator is the derivation variable.

How to solve a differential equation step by step?

The calculation steps of the dCode solver are not displayed because they are computer operations far from the steps of a student's process.

What is the general formula of differential equation?

The equations can be written as: f(x)dx+g(y)dy=0, where f(x) and g(y) are either constants or functions of x and y respectively. Similarly, the general solution of a second-order differential equation will consist of two fixed arbitrary constants and so on.

What do you mean by general solution of a differential equation?

Definition of general solution 1 : a solution of an ordinary differential equation of order n that involves exactly n essential arbitrary constants. — called also complete solution, general integral. 2 : a solution of a partial differential equation that involves arbitrary functions. — called also general integral.

What is the general solution of a first order differential equation?

A first order differential equation is an equation of the form F(t,y,˙y)=0. A solution of a first order differential equation is a function f(t) that makes F(t,f(t),f′(t))=0 for every value of t. Here, F is a function of three variables which we label t, y, and ˙y.
