Differential Equations and Their Solutions

The video tutorial explains how to solve the differential equation Y' = KY, where K is a positive constant. Initially, a guessed solution is presented, but the video proceeds to solve the equation without guessing. It involves transforming the equation using calculus, finding the antiderivative, and solving for y using exponential equations. The tutorial concludes by confirming the general solution, y = c * e^(KX), incorporating the solution y = 0.
