Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A calibration curve of a sensor satisfies . Its general solution is . The curve starts at with the slope . Find the constants and , and then the value to four decimal places.
The order is the order of the highest derivative. The degree is its power, once roots and fractions of derivatives are cleared. A general solution has as many constants as the order, and conditions fix them.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Given. , and .
Plan. Write the two conditions at , solve for and , then evaluate.
Step 1. The conditions. . So and .
Step 2. Solve. Multiply the first equation by and add: , so and . Then .
Step 3. Evaluate. .
Answer: , and .
Check. Put and into .
