Q:

Sometimes a change of variable can be used to convert a differential equation y′=f(t,y) into a separable equation. One common change of variable technique is as follows. Consider a differential equation of the form y′=f(αt+βy+γ), where α,β, and γ are constants. Use the change of variable z=αt+βy+γ to rewrite the differential equation as a separable equation of the form z′=g(z). Solve the initial value problem y′=(t+y)2−1, y(3)=4.
