Question
A large corporation starts at time t = 0 to invest part of its receipts continuously at a rate of P dollars per year in a fund for future corporate expansion. Assume that the fund earns r percent interest per year compounded continuously. So, the rate of growth of the amount A in the fund is given by
\(\frac{d A}{d t}=r A+P\)
where A = 0 when t = 0. Solve this differential equation for A as a function of t.
Text Transcription:
frac d A d t=r A+P
Solution
The first step in solving 6.5 problem number 26 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A large corporation starts at time t = 0 to invest part of its receipts continuously at a rate of P dollars per year in a fund for future corporate expansion. Assume that the fund earns r percent interest per year compounded continuously. So, the rate of growth of the amount A in the fund is given by\(\frac{d A}{d t}=r A+P\)where A = 0 when t = 0. Solve this differential equation for A as a function of t.Text Transcription:frac d A d t=r A+P
From the textbook chapter First-Order Linear Differential Equations you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
