topsquark replied to a thread [SOLVED] 299What is the acceleration in Calculus
Wait! What do you mean by you changed it to v(t)? The particle's position is x(t) = sin(t) - cos(t) means that v = \dfrac{dx}{dt}. You can't just...

Let y'(x) = v(x). Then your equation becomes v'(x) + v(x) = -F(x) Now you have a first degree linear ordinary differential equation. You can't...
