    Solve Snow Plow Problem: Find Constant k

    At t=0. So is A not a factor? Leaving e^kx=t? Then would I just plug in the next conditions and solve for k?

    Solve Snow Plow Problem: Find Constant k

    I understand that but will always result in a zero answer if A is 0.

    Solve Snow Plow Problem: Find Constant k

    Ok, looking back then the c would be e^c which would then be Ae^(kx)=t? But having initial condition of t(0)=1 would make A=0.

    Solve Snow Plow Problem: Find Constant k

    Hi guys. I am currently stuck on the classic snow plow problem. I have the following differential equation and initial conditions: @ 7am plow starts off to clear snow at a constant rate By 8am, plow has gone 4mi By 9am, plow has gone an additional 3mi Let t=0 when it started to snow, when did...

    Max Power Transfer Homework: Find Ro for Max Power

    I get the open-circuit output gives me the Thevenin voltage which would be the voltage drop across the 5k resistor and that the short circuit has no current going through the 5k resistor. I am however not getting the correct voltage or current

    Max Power Transfer Homework: Find Ro for Max Power

    Ah I see that with the voltage source. When creating the current with a current Thevenin equivent, would it be a short across the Ro thus bypassing the 5k resistor? Even doing so still doesn't put the voltage at the 5k resistor at 4V
