Differential Equations by Separation of Variables - Classwork dy = f ( x) > g ( y) . In order to solve it‚ you must put it in the form of dx g( y ) > dy = f ( x ) > dx allowing you to integrate. Your goal is to get an equation in the form of y = h( x) A differential equation will be in the form of dy = y2 dx ! y #2dy = dy 2 x = dx y 1) ! y dy = ! 2 x dx y = ± 2x2 + C 4) ! ! dx 2) y #1 = x+C #1 #1 y= x+C y2 = x2 + C 2 dy = 4y dx dy !
