solve dv/dt=32-.8v

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{dv}{dt} =32-0.8v }\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we gotta seperate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dv/(32-.8v)=dt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then integrate

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, that is fine.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

What I would tend to do is: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{dv}{dt} =32-0.8v }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{1}{32-0.8v}\frac{dv}{dt} =1 }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \color{red}{\int}\frac{1}{32-0.8v}\frac{dv}{dt}\color{red}{dt} =\color{red}{\int}1\color{red}{dt} }\) and then cancel the differentials on the left side.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So that you aren't just adding an integral sign (which is technically meaningless), but integrating with respect to a variable. But, what you did is fine too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do it my way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like integrating dv/(32-.8v)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \int\frac{1}{32-0.8v}dv =\int dt}\) Do a u substitution on the left side, and the right side should be obvious obvious at this point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

int dt = t but idk wat int dv/32-.8v is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u usb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u=32-.8v?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

ok, go ahead and solve the integral on the left side, and tell me what you get:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should u = 32-.8v

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, that is the correct u-sub.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is tat correct

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you had du=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

du= v?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no dv

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

what is the derivative of: 32-0.8v (with respect to v?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.8

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, so you have: du/dv=-0.8 and then, du=-0.8 dv ---> du=-(8/10) dv then, (-10/8) du=dv

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10/8(lnU)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=t

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

|dw:1443636158125:dw|
