How to solve for Q in dQ/dt=2-0.1Q?

Homework Equations


None.

The Attempt at a Solution


dQ/(2-0.1Q)=dt
Now what?

Now integrate both sides and solve for Q.
 
I got t+C after integrating the right side but I don't know how to integrate the left side, is it ln abs(2-0.1Q)?

Close but not quite. Write out your u substitution for that integral.
 

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
