Differential Equations and Initial Conditions

The video tutorial explains how to solve an initial value problem using the method of substitution. It begins by simplifying the differential equation using logarithmic properties and then identifies it as a homogeneous differential equation. The tutorial proceeds to separate variables and integrate both sides, solving for V and converting back to Y. Finally, it finds the particular solution using an initial condition and verifies the solution graphically.
