Derive equation with a multiplier and constant

[TMonkey]

Hi there,

I'm trying to derive the following equation, but despite internet searching haven't been able to figure out what to do with the multiplier, D.

D * dθ/dz + k = C

I need to derive the equation and then plot the graph θ(y-axis) against z (x-axis).

Any help greatly appreciated,
thank you.

Deriving from what? It helps a lot to clearly state the problem not only to be able to get help from others but also to solve the problem yourself!

Derive the equation from what? Is it from raw data, or from a description of a property of something?

You would do better to look through your assignment and class notes rather than the internet! Or form a study group.

If by "derive the equation" you mean solve that equation for $\theta$ as a function of z just solve for $d\theta= [(C- k)/D]dz$. If C, k, and D are constants that gives $\theta= [(C- k)/D]z+ E$ where E is a "constant of integration".
