So I am being asked to use partial fractions to solve ODE's. In particular, I have (dx/dt) = 3x(x-5) with x(0) = 2.
I came up with A = -1/5 and B = 15.
Then, I had (1/15)*[(x-5)/(3x)] = Be^t. But this is where things break down. I thought B = -1/2. Yet the book's answer is 10/(2+3e^15t). What am I missing?
