Given that:
y
∫(g(p))-2 dp = g(y),
0
and:
4
∫(g(p))-2 dp = (12)1/3.
0
Find the value of g(72)
merry christmas everyone :-)
let h(x)= (1/g(x))^2 then from the first equation we have
Integral h(t) dt from 0 to x = g(x)
from the fundamental theorem of calculus we have that
d/dx Integral h(t) dt from 0 to x = h(x)
thus h(x)=g'(x)
thus we end up with the differential equation, whose solution is g(x)
dy/dx = (1/y)^2
y^2 dy = dx
integrating we get
y^3/3=x+c
thus y=(3x+c)^(1/3)
from the second equation given we get that
g(4)=12^(1/3)
thus
(12+c)^(1/3)=12^(1/3)
12+c=12
c=0
thus
g(x)=(3x)^(1/3)
