    1) Variable separable differential equations can be transformed into the form dy/dx = f(x)g(y), where f(x) is a function of x alone and g(y) is a function of y alone. 2) To solve variable separable equations, the equation is transformed into separated form, then each term is integrated with respect to its variable and the general solution is obtained. 3) Homogeneous differential equations have terms that are all of the same degree when powers of each variable are summed. They can be transformed into separable form using a substitution to obtain the general solution.

    Homogeneous Functions

              Equations in the form  where each term in the and  


    have the same degree and the variables are not immediately separable equations by a change in
    variable .

    The polynomials:
                                           
                           
                          
    are said to be homogeneous polynomials because each term possesses the same degree (power)
    when all the powers of each variables are summed. The function  is said to be
    homogeneous of degree in   and   if and only if   .
