I do not know how to calculate $\displaystyle dt$ when $\displaystyle t=0$. Thanks. Last edited by eulid; November 27th, 2017 at 08:18 AM.

A first order equation like this can be thought of as an equation describing x as a function of t or as an equation describing t as a function of x. The best I can do in interpreting your question is that you want to show that t, as a function of x, is the constant function t= 0 no matter what x is. In that case, since t is a constant, the derivative is 0: dt/dx= 0 so dt= 0 while dx can be anything. Set t= 0 and dt= 0 and show that the equation is satisfied for all x. Thanks from eulid
