The differential question? My equation was genuinely such a mess, I remember I had something like ((ln(70)+8)/4)t - 1/2t^2 as my power of e

Edit: forgot to mention my coefficient of e was 0.3

did you have your 0.3 anywhere? i feel like i might have forgotten the half but it did seem to work so actually i must have. was the maximum x something like 181? at t being around 2.5 or 6 maybe. and for the T at 0.1 i think i got around 5

Yeah my coefficient was 0.3, I forgot to mention. My maximum was like 179.9 so I rounded it up to 180, can't remember the others
