Dm/dt=3m, m(1)=5

1/dt=3m/dm. Flip.

dt=1/3m*dm

● dt=● 1/3m*dm

t=ln|3m|

t+C=3ln|m|

e^t*e^C=3m

Ce^t=3m

1/3(Ce^t=3m)=m

1/3(C)*1/3e*....?

 

Going with my way please complete and show errors. Please also show what should have been done to iscolate the m before integrating and lastly if that is simpler than my solution. Answer is m=5e^3t-3. Thanks.

So, you have Dm/dt = 3m

Get m by itself -->

Dm = 3m dt --> Dm / m = 3 dt...go from there -->

ln |m| = 3t + C

m = e^(3t+C)

m = Ce^(3t)

5 = Ce^(3*1)

5 = Ce^(3)

C = 5 / e^3 --> m = 5e^(3t) / e^3 --> e^3 is same as e^-3 in the numerator -->  

m = 5e^-3*e^3t --> Combine the e's -->

m = 5e^(3t-3).

Am I correct now with my solution and method? Initial conditions are in the previous image I posted.

Why does the 4 not gwr integrated to have P attached and left as a constant?

Oh, because the integral of 1/x dx is ln(x) and it follows that the integral of 1/(x+2) dx is ln(x+2) -->

 

If we do u-substitution, u = x + 2 --> du = dx then 1/u du = ln u = ln(x + 2).

 

This situation is similar to the one in your question.

integral of 1/(0.3Q) dQ --> we can separate this into two fractions --> 1/(0.3)*(1/Q) 

Now, the constant we can take out which becomes 3.33 and then 1/Q becomes ln(Q).

So, t + C + 120 = 3.33ln(Q) --> Divide both sides by 3.33.

t + C + 120 / (3.33) = ln(Q)

e^(t + C + 120 / (3.33)) = Q  

50 = e^(0 + C + 120 / (3.33))

50 = e^(120 + C / (3.33))

ln(50) = ln (120 + C / (3.33))

ln(50) = ln (120 + C) - ln(3.33)

ln(50) + ln(3.33) = ln(120 + C)

Hmm, I am stuck here...I took exponents but didn't work out..
