Question

Solve , expressing in terms of .

This practice question was inspired by Question 11(e) in the 2020 NSW HSC Mathematics Extension 1 examination, © NESA. It is an original TestMum variation that practises the same mathematical idea, not an official NESA question.

Step by step

  1. Set up the solution: separate or integrate the differential equation, include the constant, then use the initial condition..
  2. State the final answer clearly in the form the question requested..

Common mistake: changing so many features that the new example no longer tests the same mathematical idea.

Verification: Differentiate: .
