\[\frac{d^2r}{dt^2}=\frac{3}{t^4} \\ \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dr}{dt})=\frac{3}{t^4} \\ hence \ \ by \ \ integration \\ \frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{1}{t^3}+c\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
am i clear?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now u have
dr/dt t=1 =1
put this bondary condition in the equation
what will u get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i put the boundary into dr/dt correct?

C=1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now u have
\[\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{1}{t^3}+1\]
integrate again to get the final answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is where i have a problem where i have to intergrate again

1/2t^2+1t+C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok i eas really wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i meant was not eas
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u have to integrate until u have such terms that include derivatives of your unknown function
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok

what is final answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is the answer 1/2t^2+1t-1/8 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes thats completely right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thanks so much for your help =)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
welcome
