    Separable differential equations can be solved by separating the variables and then integrating both sides of the equation. This allows the variables to be isolated so that integration can be performed independently on each side. Three examples are provided to demonstrate solving separable equations: separating variables and integrating in the first example, rewriting the equation in separated form before integrating in the second, and separating variables and integrating to solve an initial value problem in the third.

    Separable Equations

    Simply put, a differential equation is said to be separable if the variables can be separated. That is, a separable equation is one that can be written in the form

    Once this is done, all that is needed to solve the equation is to integrate both sides. The method for solving separable equations can therefore be summarized as follows: Separate the variables and integrate. Example 1: Solve the equation 2 y dy = ( x 2 + 1) dx. Since this equation is already expressed in separated form, just integrate:

    Example 2: Solve the equation

    This equation is separable, since the variables can be separated:

    The integral of the lefthand side of this last equation is simply

    and the integral of the righthand side is evaluated using integration by parts:

    The solution of the differential equation is therefore

    Example 3: Solve the IVP

    The equation can be rewritten as follows:

    Integrating both sides yields
