Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that, 

                 dvdt=32-1.6v,    v(0)=0.

Step 2

Now, 

                    dvdt=32-1.6v   dvdt+1.6v=32.

Which is a linear equation in v.

By comparing the above equation with the following

equation, we have

               dvdt+P(t)v=Q(t),

Here,

              P(t)=1.6, & Q(t)=32.

For Integrating factor (I.F.):

     I.F.=eP(t)dt       =e1.6dt       =e1.6t.
