Finding the maximum size of an Initial Value Problem coefficient

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around solving an Initial Value Problem (IVP) that models the temperature of water in a tub during a bath. The equation provided describes how the temperature T changes over time based on the inflow rate v and the surrounding temperature. The goal is to determine the maximum inflow rate v that keeps the water temperature above 37°C for a 40-minute bath. Participants emphasize the need for the user to show their initial work before receiving further assistance. The user is uncertain about how to apply the solution to find the maximum value of v while ensuring T(40) remains at 37°C.

Homework Statement
find the maximum size of a IVP coefficient size?
Relevant Equations
diff(T(x), x) = v/200*(45 - T(x)) + 0.015*(22 - T(x)) where T(0)=39
The following IVP
diff(T(x), x) = v/200*(45 - T(x)) + 0.015*(22 - T(x)) where T(0)=39

Describes the tempetatur T in celcius at the time x of a tub filled with water. A tub which is filled with hot water at rate of v l/min.

Lets say I am told that a guy takes a 40 min bath, and during those 40 min he doesn't want the water in the tub to become colder than 37 c.
How would I go about calculating the maximum size of v for that periode?

Welcome to PF.

Can you show us your work so far? We are not allowed to help you until we see your initial work. Thanks.

Sure, If I do a dsolve in Maple on the IVP I get the following solution seen in the screenshot. But how should I got about finding the maximum size of v? If T(40)=37? Thats what I am unsure on.
