How should I integrate this differential equation?
dQ/dt = 10 - 10Q/(500 - 5t)
I hope someone can help me.
dQ/dt = 10 - 10Q/(500 - 5t)
I hope someone can help me.
That's CUMBERSOME..dextercioby said:Variables can be separated for the homogenous equation,indeed.And then Lagrange's method would work for the nohomogeneity function.

A differential equation is a mathematical equation that describes the relationship between a function and its derivative. It is used to model many real-world phenomena and is often solved using integration techniques.
Integrating a differential equation allows us to find an explicit solution for the function being modeled. This can provide valuable insights into the behavior of the system and can be used to make predictions.
The steps to integrate a differential equation depend on the type of equation and the techniques being used. Generally, the first step is to identify the type of equation (linear, separable, exact, etc.) and then apply the appropriate integration method. This may involve rewriting the equation, using substitution or integration by parts, and solving for the constant of integration.
Yes, some common mistakes include forgetting to add the constant of integration, misapplying integration techniques, and making algebraic errors. It is important to double-check your work and make sure it is consistent with the original equation.
Some differential equations can be solved analytically, meaning an exact solution can be found. However, many equations are too complex to solve analytically and require numerical methods to approximate a solution. It is important to carefully consider the problem and the available techniques when attempting to solve a differential equation.
