dN/dt=A-kN^2 A and k are constants.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for n in terms of A and k

OpenStudy (freckles):

the problem is a separation of variables problem

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\frac{dN}{A-kN^2}=dt \text{ integrate both sides }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (freckles):

let me know if you have problems integrating that you might have to do cases

OpenStudy (freckles):

you know cases for the constants when k is negative when k is positive when k is zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k is a constant at 5x10^-6 but i'm supposed to solve it without plugging in the numbers so i guess I assume k is negative then?

OpenStudy (freckles):

5x10^(-6) is positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You got me...Well i'll just play around with this for a while and see if I can get it, thanks for getting me started!

OpenStudy (freckles):

if I were you and if I knew k and A are positive constants than I would do partial fractions.

OpenStudy (freckles):

Otherwise I might have to consider trig sub.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then don't say lies about me please
