AB 6.
(b)
(Review Chapter 7)
(a) The differential equation is separable:
If y = 0 when x = 2, then ; thus c = 3, and .
Solving for y gives the solution: .
Note that is defined only if .
only if the numerator and denominator have the same
sign.
Since the particular solution must be continuous on an interval
containing the initial point
x = 2, the domain is . (Review Chapter 9)
Since , the function has a
horizontal asymptote at y = ln 3. (Review Chapter 2)
