I got dizzy with strange solutions
Relevant Equations
y'(t) = k(M-y)
If we have this D.E:

from Latex :
lagrida_latex_editor.png


if I try to solve it in this way:

lagrida_latex_editor(1).png


My solution is :

lagrida_latex_editor(2).png


Which is not correct

Another attempt :

lagrida_latex_editor(3).png


that gives me :

lagrida_latex_editor(4).png




What is wrong ?

I know I should write:

lagrida_latex_editor(5).png


But why my integrations are wrong?

Because you have not done the integration correctly. If you do the integration correctly you will obtain the correct result.
 
You can do it!

Your second answer is very close. Try to show your work this time, so you can find where you might have made a small mistake in the ##e## term.

This isn't that important, but ##A## is an undetermined constant, so you'd write ##A## instead of ##-A## to simplify the answer as much as possible.
 
@Pouyan_1989 your both answers are incorrect. To find where you are wrong it will be very useful if you show your work in more details.
 
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...
