Solving Initial Value Problems with Mathematica's Solver

(continued fromÌýlast page...)

Let's now giveÌýMathematicaÌýthe slightly harder second order initial value problem:

²â″Ìý- 3²â′Ìý- 10yÌý= 0,ÌýÌýy(0) = 0,ÌýÌý²â′(0) = 1.

(Note: When entering this equation intoÌýMathematicaÌýthe primes inÌýy″(x) are entered by simply typing the single quote key twice,ÌýnotÌýthe double quote key. i.e.Ìýy''[x])

Go ahead and switch toÌýMathematicaÌýnow to solve this initial value problem. Come back here when you are done.
