50Separable ODE dy/dx=2ydy/dx = 2y

Solve dydx=2y\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = 2y with y(0)=3\displaystyle y(0) = 3, and find y(1)\displaystyle y(1). Give the answer to 3 decimal places.

Separate variables, integrate, and exponentiate to get y = Ae^(2x); y(0)=3 gives A=3, so y = 3e^(2x). Then y(1) = 3e² ≈ 22.167. Check: its derivative 6e^(2x) equals 2y, as required.
