Answer

$y = e^{t^2}\int_{0}^{t}e^{-{s^2}}ds + e^{t^2}$

Work Step by Step

Given the differential equation $y'-2ty = 1$, confirm that $y = e^{t^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}e^{-s^{2}}ds + e^{t^{2}}$ is a solution. $\mathit{Confirmation}.$ First, we differentiate the proposed solution to get an explicit expression for $y'$: For $y = e^{t^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}e^{-s^{2}}ds+e^{t^{2}}$, $y' = (2te^{t^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}e^{-s^{2}}ds+e^{t^{2}}\cdot e^{-t^{2}})+ 2te^{t{2}}$, $=2te^{t^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}e^{-s^{2}}ds+1+2te^{t^{2}}.$ Then we substitute our expressions for $y$ and $y'$ in the given differential equation. Thus we get $y'-2ty = (2te^{t^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}e^{-s^{2}}ds+1+2te^{t^{2}})-2t(e^{t^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}e^{-s^{2}}ds+e^{t^{2}})$, which, after cancellation of terms, $=1$. Our final equation, then, is the given differential equation, which was to be shown.
