Question:

A parachutist has a terminal velocity of -176 feet per second. That is, no matter how long a person falls, his or her speed will not exceed 176 feet per second, but it will get arbitrarily close to that value. The velocity in feet per second, y(t), after t seconds satisfies the differential equation y(t) = 32 - k · y(t). What is the value of k?
