"Its true. Thanks a lot"
Response Details:
How can the above answer be correct? In the second to last line, it says to take the arcsin(1.2*2) which is the arcsin of something greater than one which does not exist. I did the problem the same way except when you take the first integral you must account for a constant which I found equal to 1 when you plug in the first initial condition. I continued as he did except with this extra 1 and found k=-2.898. I hope this helps.
