Am I solving this differential equation correctly?

63 Views Asked by At

I have been tasked with solving the following differential equation:

$$y'(t)+7\sin(t)y(t)=(te^{\cos(t)})^7$$

I recognize (I think?) that this is an equation of the type:

$$y'(t)+p(t)y(t)=q(t)$$

which has the solution:

$$y(t)=e^{-P(t)}\int e^{P(t)}q(t)dt$$

However, I just can't figure out which function goes where in the solutioon formula. Can anyone help me?

You can define

$z(t):=(e^{-cos(t)})^7y(t)$

and you can observe that $z(t)$ verify the equality

$z’(t)=t^7$
