CHAPTER 2: erste Order Dr Merenwa) ‘ Equations Contents : 1. Separable Varvables 2. Linear First-Order Di erential Equahons 3. Exact Di Merenka) Equation 4. Methed by Subshtubion $2.2 Separable Varrables Recall an nth-ordee linear DE: ae cee +9) wh “+4 460 y= fod where an “ya, and F are funchons of x. Thus a fist order hear DE has Lom ayo 3 + 4004 = Foo. DeMdthon Separable Varrable A S\est- order DE is called separa ble Variable of ermiply separable if 1+ has form = Poo Gy) or Moddx+ No dy =o.Methed of Solubion Write the DE aw . Pa Qw dx as Hwy da —~Pogeo (H=4/@) Integration relative to X ges § Heyy y’dx - (Pondx ce, where ¢ is an atbitrary constant, gives the GS. Or implyeitly we write the given DE os Hip dy - Poo dx eo then integrate beth sides to cbtain SAmay - (Poadxece. Example 4. Salve tre DE (AD QED dx + xydy =o. Solution.
