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.

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