Homework Statement
##C_{B}## is a function of ##\tau'##, and ##k_{1}##,##k_{2}##, and ##C_{A0}## are constants. I want to solve this differential equation
[tex] \frac {dC_{B}}{d \tau'} + k_{2}C_{B} = k_{1}C_{A0}e^{-k_{1} \tau'} [/tex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Using the integrating factor, we get
[tex] \frac {d(C_{B}e^{k_{2} \tau'})}{d \tau'} = k_{1}C_{A0}e^{(k_{2} - k_{1})
\tau'} [/tex]
However, from here I am unsure how to separate this. I was thinking of using chain rule on the inside, but that seems to only get me back to where I started (that's the purpose of the integrating factor??)
