Answer

$P^{1/2}$ - $\frac{t^{3/2}}{3}$ = $\sqrt 2$ - $\frac{1}{3}$ (OR) $P^{1/2}$ - $\frac{t^{3/2}}{3}$ = 1.08

Work Step by Step

$\int \frac{dP}{\sqrt P}$ = $\int \sqrt tdt$ $\int P^{-1/2}dP$ = $\int t^{1/2}dt$ $\frac{P^{1/2}}{1/2}$ = $\frac{t^{3/2}}{3/2}$ + c $2P^{1/2}$ = $\frac{2t^{3/2}}{3}$ + c $P^{1/2}$ = $\frac{t^{3/2}}{3}$ + c $P^{1/2}$ - $\frac{t^{3/2}}{3}$ = c ...... (1) We know that, P(1) = 2, so: $\sqrt 2$ - $\frac{1}{3}$ = c ......(2) Using (1) and (2): $P^{1/2}$ - $\frac{t^{3/2}}{3}$ = $\sqrt 2$ - $\frac{1}{3}$ Hence, $P^{1/2}$ - $\frac{t^{3/2}}{3}$ = 1.08
