Hi

Can someone explain to me how they got tan() in the last couple of lines, when they are finding the peak time.

It seems as though they took the expression for \(\frac{dv_{c}}{dt}\) (i.e. equation (2)), and divided it by, \(-5cos(21.794t_{o}),\) which is reasonable because the other side of the equation is simply 0.

I assume they are neglecting the exponential terms because \(t_{o}\) is very small. By this I mean,

\(e^{t_{o}}, \quad t_{o} \approx 0 \Rightarrow e^{t_{o}} \approx 1 \)
