Converting derivative into integral

Hi,

I need to ask a very basic question and am very weak at calculus. I have an equation d(B)/dt=Q/K. Where K is a constant and Q is a function of time. B is the variable, which when differentiated w.r.t. time gives the Q. I want to convert this equation into integral form. Can anyone help me out on this? I will really really appreciate any help! Thanks!

Hey zealous131 and welcome to the forums.

Does Q only involve time (t) or does it also involve B? If the answer is no then JJacquelin has provided a very good outline of what to do. If not, then you will need to state how B is involved in with Q. If you don't understand what I'm saying and you've only been told that Q is a function of t (i.e. Q(t)) then don't worry about my advice (but keep it in mind later on if you have to solve things like this).
 
Thanks a lot JJacquelin for providing me the solution. I really apreciate it! Thanks Chiro for your valuable comment, Q is only a function of time and doesn't depend on B so that makes ife easier. I will definitely keep the point you've mantioned. Thanks!
 
There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
