Not sure if it is translated to "Integration" but when you integrate a variable called:

x^2

you get:

1/3 * x^3

Okay, if you know what Im speaking about, you might be able to help me with this one:

The integration is of

dy/dx = a * e^0,68024x

The information tells us that given that

Y = -191,11 * e^0,68024x - 191,11

I have to find the constant "a"

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance :)

Now I know it was the right choice to do Psychology / sociology / Media Studies / Philosophy of Religion at college. :D

Ok basically if you integrate e^bx you get (1/b)(e^bx)+constant of integration, integrating your first equation you get

y = a/0.68024 *e^0.68024x + C

since it tells you what y is equal to you just need to equate the coefficients :) ie

a/0.68024 = -191.11
C = -191.11

and hey presto you can find a :)
