This document provides an overview of the separation of variables method for solving first-order differential equations. It defines the standard form of a first-order differential equation as f(x)dx + g(y)dy = 0. The standard solution involves integrating each term separately and setting them equal to a constant C. An example problem demonstrates applying the separation of variables method to solve the first-order differential equation (y + 2x2y)dy = 2x + 2xy2dx. The complete solution is derived by integrating each term and setting them equal to obtain the general solution 1 + 2x2 = C(1 + y2).
