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

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!

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.

Then don't say lies about me please
