Default diff eq

Okay, so...I did well on the test.

But I have one question, and my professor isn't very available/english speaking/nice:

dy/dt = yt

which is easy enough.

i got y(t) = ce^t

But he marked it wrong, and I'm not sure why.

mmm it's not too bad. This class isn't curved. Everybody I asked about this question said my solution was correct. I don't have much confidence in them, though.

My thermodynamics test was bad. I did well (84) but my cohorts did horrid. 55 with a standard deviation of 20.

I noticed what I did wrong. integral of tdt is not t+c, it's 1/2 t^2 +c. burrrrn. -10 points for that mistake.

Not really. It seems like chemical engineers do well in thermo.
