Find the solution of the differential equation that satisfies the given initial condition. (du)/(dt) = (2t + sec^2 t)/(2u), u(0) = -5

This ODE is separable:

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{2t+\sec^2t}{2u}[/tex]

[tex]\implies2u\,\mathrm du=(2t+\sec^2t)\,\mathrm dt[/tex]

Integrating both sides gives

[tex]u^2=t^2+\tan t+C[/tex]

Given that [tex]u(0)=-5[/tex], we have

[tex](-5)^2=0^2+\tan0+C\implies C=25[/tex]

so that the particular solution to the IVP is

[tex]u(t)^2=t^2+\tan t+25[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{u(t)=\sqrt{t^2+\tan t+25}}[/tex]
