"rate of change proportional to the diffrence between itself and a fixed value dy/dx=k(y−a) So I have a question regarding exponential growth/decay problem formulated in my book. In my book they say: ""Sometimes an exponential growth or decay problem will involve a quantity that changes at a rate proportional to the difference between itself and a fixed point: dy/dx=k(y−a) In this case, the change of dependent variable u(t)=y(t)−a should be used to convert the differential equation to the standard form. Observe that u(t) changes at the same rate as $y(t)(ie,\frac{du {dy}=dy/dt) so it satisfies du/dt=ku"" I am having a hard time grasping what they mean. And I would hope for somebody to expand on this notion. More specifically how does dy/dx=k(y−a) relate to u(t)=y(t)−a?"
