Question
![16. We have seen that Bernoulli's change of variable \( z(t) = 1/y(t) \) transforms the nonlinear logistic equation
\[
\frac{dy}{dt} = ay - by^2
\]
into a linear equation. There is a more general version of this change of variables. Consider the equation
\[
\frac{dy}{dt} = ay - by^n,
\]
where \( n \) is any (positive or negative) integer, and \( a, b \) are constants. Let \( z(t) = y(t)^{1-n} \), and find the equation satisfied by \( z \). This equation should be linear. Use this change of variables to solve the initial value problem
\[
\frac{dy}{dt} = y - 2y^3, \quad y(0) = 1.
\]
(After you find \( z(t) \), don't forget to translate back to the desired solution \( y(t) \).)](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/61f2bd8c-527a-479e-9deb-09c663979694/2097a35b-35cc-4568-aea8-80b300fa074b/0f8qkpi_thumbnail.jpeg)
