alright so i have a problem with integrating the differential equation
dM/dt = 100 - kM
i have to separate the variables and then integrate the diffrerential equation to get an equation for M in terms of t. For the initial condition, M=0 when t=0
just for reference
my book is
CALCULUS
concepts and applications
2nd ed
key curriculum press
and the problem is in page 329 CH7 sec 3 Problem #1 c
any help will be greatly appreciated, thnx

multiply by dt, divide by (100 - kM), integrate, solve for M
The tricky part is seeing that it's all that under dM

thnx
i got far with ur explanation
thou i still havent come up with right the answer

OKay, well, I tried this problem and I assumed k was a constant...(if I am wrong let me know) But thento integrate I used u substitution and it was very easy...so maybe try that.

What is the correct answer?
I'm getting:
(100 - e^t)/k = M

I got something similar when I redid it and it was M= k^2e^t+100 + C
Then when you plug in the initial condition...i got lost.

Okay, I forgot about the C...Yeah, I'm out of practice. Too many matricies in my brain I suppose. But I redid it and I'm not exactly sure what you did stupidgurl2boiz...
With the C I got M = (100 - Ce^t)/k
And with the initial condition I found that C = 100, so it's:
M = 100(1 - e^t)/k
And that's what I got...

OKay I totally got it! I asked a calc teacher and she got M=100/k(1-e^-kt)
which now that I look, it is the same thing pianogirl got....lol you got to it before i did!

mmm....
so close:)
actually, after your first tip i was able to get quite far with my procedure
and i arrived at the same answer as you have
but:eek:
there is some weird step necessary
it goes as follows
dM/dt = 100-kM
dM/(100-kM) = dt
then we integrate and use that weird step (in red)
-1/k S dM/(100-kM) = S dt
-1/k ln |100-kM| = t+C
ln 100-kM = -kt-kC
100-kM = e^-kt-kC
-kM = Ce^-kt -100
M = (Ce^-kt -100)/-k
substitute the initial conditions
0 = 1/k (100 - C^-k0)
100 = C
thus,
M =100/k (1-e^-kt)
:D
the same as the answer stupidgurl2boiz got from asking the calc teacher
it sure did take a while to get to this answer and i had to carefully review some notes that I was lucky to have from the section in which the problem was
oh, btw, the answer i got is the same as the one in the teacher's manual but i still don't know why there is a need to factor the -1/k when we integrate:confused:
any ideas??
thnx for the help

Because k respesents a constant...when you integrate you use u-substitution right? well, your u was 100-km which meant your du would be -kmdm . SInce the integral only contains mdm you have to factor out the -k. Thus you would have -1/kdu=m dm and then you can procede with u-substitution.

Stupid chain rule...I really am out of practice...
Oh well, I'm glad you got the right answer and I could help you out some
