Answer

$$y\left( t \right) = C{t^{ - 3}}{\text{ is a solution of the given differential equation}}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & y\left( t \right) = C{t^{ - 3}} \cr & {\text{differentiate}} \cr & y'\left( t \right) = C\left( { - 3{t^{ - 2}}} \right) \cr & y'\left( t \right) = - 3C{t^{ - 2}} \cr & {\text{replace }}y\left( t \right){\text{ and }}y'\left( t \right){\text{ in the differential equation }} \cr & ty'\left( t \right) + 3y = 0 \cr & t\left( { - 3C{t^{ - 2}}} \right) + 3C{t^{ - 3}} = 0 \cr & {\text{simplify}} \cr & - 3tC{t^{ - 2}} + 3C{t^{ - 3}} = 0 \cr & 0 = 0 \cr & {\text{then}} \cr & y\left( t \right) = C{t^{ - 3}}{\text{ is a solution of the given differential equation}} \cr} $$
