#16872 — Differential Equation

Dear Friends,

I am going to solve the following differential equation:
dY(x)/dx=A*f(x)-B*Y(x)

In which A and B are some parameters, f(x) is a function of x, and Y(C)=0 (C is a parameter).

I tried to solve it in Mathematica by
DSolve[Y'[x] == A*f[x] - B*Y[x], Y[C] == 0, x]

But I get the following error
DSolve::dsfun: "Y[C]==0 cannot be used as a function

I would highly appreciate it if somebody can help me.

Best regards.

Hi,
The correct syntax is this:
DSolve[{Y'[x] == A*f[x] - B*Y[x], Y[C] == 0}, Y[x], x]

Notice the brackets {} and the Y[x]. See the help of DSolve for more examples etc.

Cheers

Check the syntax for the proper use of DSolve.  You are looking for 

DSolve[{Y'[x] == A*f[x] - B*Y[x], Y[C] == 0}, Y, x]

Also note that C is a reserved symbol in Mathematica.  Generally you should avoide using capital letters for your parameters and functions
