The given differential equation is dx - 2dy + Sy = 0. To rewrite it in standard form, we need to isolate the second derivative term. Rearranging the equation, we get: dx + Sy = 2dy Taking the derivative of both sides with respect to x, we get: d^2x/dx^2 + S(dy/dx) Show more…

To solve the separable differential equation dy/dx + y cos(x) = 8 cos(x), we must find two separate integrals: ∫ 1/(8-y) dy = -ln(8-y)+C and ∫ cos(x) dx = sin(x)+C. Solving for y we get that y = ke^(-sinx)+8 (you must use k as your constant) and find the particular solution satisfying the initial condition y(0) = 7.
