Homework Statement
dy/dt = ty(4-y)/3
y(0) = y_o
Suppose y_o = 0.5. Find the time T at which the solution first reaches the value 3.98
Homework Equations
I separated, integrated and solved, so do i just plug in y_o wherever i see y and 0 for t to find the constant C and plug this back into my original solution? I must've got the wrong solution b/c my answer is not correct. Also, is my integral correct? I wasn't sure how to do it
The Attempt at a Solution
dy/[y(4-y)] = t/3 dt
After integrating both sides:
(1/4)( ln(y) - ln(y-4) ) = (t^2)/6 + C
Aftering combining logs and exponentiating both sides:
y/(y-4) = e^((2t^2)/3 + 4C)
