M(0) = $150000 ------>initial amount due
M(30) = $0 -------> final amount due
r = .07
p=?
Homework Equations
anything to do with diffe equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Well I don't want to show all the work for it but one can find a general solution to the equation listed in the problem by dividing both sides by rM-p and by multilpying both sides by dt. So
dM/(rM-p)=dt
From here you can integrate and eventually get the general solution of
M = c*e^(r*t)+p/r
With M(0) = 150000 and M(30) = 0 I can solve for both c and p but I seem to be missing something. How do I find out how much she pays? I'm lost. Even by after checking with the answers in the back of the book I can't get the answer that they got.
