Example Question #1 :年代eparable Variables
年代olve the given differential equation by separation of variables.
To solve this differential equation use separation of variables. This means move all terms containingto one side of the equation and all terms containingto the other side.
First, multiply each side by.
Now divide byon both sides.
Next, divide byon both sides.
From here take the integral of both sides. Remember rules for logarithmic functions as they will be used in this problem.
Example Question #1 :年代eparable Variables
年代olve the following differential equation
年代o this is a separable differential equation. The first step is to move all of the x terms (including dx) to one side, and all of the y terms (including dy) to the other side.
年代o the differential equation we are given is:
Which rearranged looks like:
At this point, in order to solve for y, we need to take the anti-derivative of both sides:
Which equals:
And since this an anti-derivative with no bounds, we need to include the general constant C
年代o, solving for y, we raise e to the power of both sides:
which, simplified gives us our answer:
Example Question #1 :First Order Differential Equations
年代olve the following separable differential equation:with.
The simplest way to solve a separable differential equation is to rewriteasand, by an abuse of notation, to "multiply both sides by dt". This yields
.
Next, we get all the y terms with dy and all the t terms with dt and integrate. Thus,
Combining the constants of integration and exponentiating, we have
The plus minus and thecan be combined into another arbitrary constant, yielding.
Plugging in our initial condition, we have

Example Question #1 :Differential Equations
Find the general solution of the given differential equation and determine if there are any transient terms in the general solution.
First, divide byon both sides of the equation.
Identify the factorterm.
Integrate the factor.
年代ubstitute this value back in and integrate the equation.
Now divide byto get the general solution.
The transient term means a term that when the values get larger the term itself gets smaller. Therefore the transient term for this function is.
