rdq/dt+q/c=v, q=1/r

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Rearranging the equation\[r\frac{\mathrm dq}{\mathrm dt}+\frac qc=v\\ \frac{\mathrm dq}{\mathrm dt}+\frac q{cr}=\frac vr\] an integrating factor can be found\[I(t)=\exp\int \frac{1}{rc}\mathrm dt=\exp (t/rc)=e^{t/rc}\] Such that\[\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}(qe^{t/rc})=\frac vre^{t/rc}\] integrating \[qe^{t/rc}=\int\frac vre^{t/rc}\mathrm dt\\ qe^{t/rc}=\frac{v}{r}\cdot rce^{t/rc}+C\\ q(t)=v+Ce^{-t/rc}\]

is q=1/r susposed to be an initial condition?
