Separation of Variables - Arbitrary Constant, 6

Category: Differential Equations

"Published in Newark, California, USA"

Find the particular solution for


when t = 0; r = r0.

Solution:

Consider the given equation above  


By separation of variables, transfer dt to the right side of the equation and r to the left side of the equation as follows



Integrate on both sides of the equation, we have  




Substitute the values of r and t in order to solve for C as follows




Therefore, the particular solution is





Take the inverse natural logarithm on both sides of the equation, we have
