In summary, the conversation discusses finding the formula for current i as a function of time t, given the induced emf in a 5-henry inductor. The resulting formula is i=1/5(ln(t+3)^2+ln(t+7)^4+k, and there is no need to differentiate it as it is already in the desired form. The missing factor of 1/L may have been unintentionally omitted.

I hope anyone could give me a hand on this one...

The induced emf in a 5-henry inductor varies as V=(6t+26)/(t^2+10t+21). Recalling that current i=1/L∫Vdt, find the formula for the current i as a function of time t.

This is what I've gotten so far...

∫(6t+26)/(t^2+10t+21)=(6t+26)/(t+3)(t+7)=A/(t+3)+B(t+7)=2/(t+3)+4/(t+7) dt

i=1/5∫2/(t+3)+4/(t+7)dt
i=1/5(ln(t+3)^2+ln(t+7)^4+k...

Well should I stop here since I've gotten only the variable t on the right side of the formula or should differentiate it since they are asking for the formula of currentas a function of time t? If so... is this correct?

di/dt=1/5{[(2t+6)/(t+3)^2]+[(4t+28)/(t+7)^4)]}

Thank you again guys...

You want i as a function of time, and that is what you have!

There is no reason to differentiate it- remember that integration and differentation are "opposites" differentiating now would just return you to the function you integrated!

(What happened to 1/L? Shouldn't that be in there?)

So the answer will be i=1/5(ln(t+3)^2+ln(t+7)^4+k...

now about the 1/L this is the 1/5 (I had 5-henry inductor)...
Is it right?
 

1. What is the equation for V in this scenario?

The equation for V is (6t+26)/(t^2+10t+21).

2. What does the integral in this equation represent?

The integral represents the total area under the curve of the function V with respect to time, from t=0 to t=L.

3. How is L determined in this equation?

L is determined by the specific time interval that is being considered. It is the upper limit of the integral and can be any value greater than 0.

4. Can this equation be used to find the average value of V over a certain time period?

Yes, the integral in the equation represents the average value of V over the time interval from t=0 to t=L.

5. What type of data or information is needed to solve this equation?

The equation requires information on the function V and the time interval being considered. Both of these variables can be determined through experimentation or given in a problem scenario.
