Exam 2 Review Sheet UPDATE to Problem #9

Hi everyone,

Based on our discussion in class, I updated Problem 9 in the Review Sheet (as written, the problem was leading to very large numbers which caused calculation errors in most calculators). I have kept the differential equation the same, changed the initial point. It should now work correctly.

I also added the solution, along with some of the values found along the way. Let me know if you have questions.

Best,
Prof. Reitz
