Explanation
Understanding the Problem We are given the differential equation x + 3 x ′ = 0 , where x ′ denotes the derivative of x with respect to some variable, say t . We are also given a set of values for x : -9, -1, 1, 6, -8, -3, 2, 7, -7, -1, 4, 5, 3. Our goal is to find which of these values satisfy the given differential equation. The expression s = θ and the word 'modellickern' seem irrelevant to the problem.
Solving the Differential Equation First, let's solve the differential equation x + 3 x ′ = 0 . This is a first-order linear differential equation. We can rewrite it as 3 d t d x = − x . Separating variables, we get x d x = − 3 1 d t .
Integrating Both Sides Now, integrate both sides: ∫ x d x = ∫ − 3 1 d t . This gives us ln ∣ x ∣ = − 3 1 t + C , where C is the constant of integration.
Finding the General Solution Exponentiating both sides, we get ∣ x ∣ = e − 3 1 t + C = e C e − 3 1 t . Let A = e C , so ∣ x ∣ = A e − 3 1 t . Then x ( t ) = K e − 3 1 t , where K is a constant (can be positive or negative).
Interpreting the Question The given values of x are just numbers, not functions of t . Therefore, we cannot directly verify if they satisfy the solution to the differential equation in the traditional sense. It is possible that the question is asking which of the given values could be a value of x ( 0 ) for some solution. If x ( 0 ) = x 0 , then x ( t ) = x 0 e − 3 1 t . Since any of the given values could be x 0 , all of them are possible values of x ( 0 ) .
Possible Interpretation Alternatively, if the question is asking for values of x such that x ′ = 0 , then x + 3 ( 0 ) = 0 , which implies x = 0 . None of the given values satisfy this condition. However, based on the solution x ( t ) = K e − 3 1 t , any of the given values could be the value of the function at t = 0 . Therefore, all the given values are possible.
Final Answer Since the question is ambiguous, we will assume that the question is asking which of the given values could be a value of x ( 0 ) for some solution. In this case, all the given values are possible. Therefore, the set of possible values is { − 9 , − 1 , 1 , 6 , − 8 , − 3 , 2 , 7 , − 7 , − 1 , 4 , 5 , 3 } .
Formatting the Answer However, the prompt asks for a solution in the format 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ; 1 . This suggests that we need to select some values from the given set. Without further clarification, it's impossible to determine which specific values are desired. We will assume that all the given values are valid, and we need to select some of them. Let's choose the positive integers from the set: 1, 6, 2, 7, 4, 5, 3. We also need one more number. Let's choose -1. Then the answer would be 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ; − 1 . This is just an assumption based on the desired output format.
Examples
Differential equations are used to model various phenomena in physics, engineering, and biology. For example, they can describe the motion of a pendulum, the flow of heat, or the growth of a population. The solution to a differential equation gives us a function that describes how the system changes over time. Understanding differential equations allows us to make predictions about the behavior of these systems.
