Solution Summary

This provides a brief introduction to ordinary differential equations. The ordinary differential equation integration is examined.

Solution Preview

ODE is the part of calculus where both integration as well as differentiation are used..
simple equation:
dy/dx = f(x) : degree 1, order 1.
ORDER of eqn. : order of highest derivative
DEGREE of eqn.: index or power or raised to the highest order derivative
e.g. (dy/dx)^3 + (d^2y/dx^2)^2 : order 2, degree 2 (not 3)
Now,
e.g. eqn: dy/dx = sin(x)
solution=> dy = sin(x). dx
=> y = integration[sin(x)]dx = -cos(x) + const.

One step ahead:
dy/dx = f(x,y) : order 1, degree 1
e.g dy/dx = sin(x)/{sec(y).tan(y)}
=> sec(y).tan(y) dy = sin(x) dx
=> int[sec(y).tan(y)] dy = int[sin(x)] dx
=> sec(y) = ...

  • " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
