Separable Differential Equations
• A differential equation is known as a separable differential equation if it can be
written as

• To separable, multiplied by derivative

• Integrate both sides

• Solve the
Example
Solve

1 𝑛+1
1.

2.
Multiplied by derivative

Integrate both sides

∫ 𝑥 𝑑𝑥=𝑛+1 𝑥
𝑛

Separable Differential Equations
• Sometimes it is necessary to make substitution so that we can write
the differential equation in separable form.
• Example: Use the substitution to solve
1. Differentiate the substitution

eq (i)
2. Include eq (i) and into equation

,
,
Group works
1. Find the solution of the 2. By using substitution , change
differential equation the differential equation

To separable equation. Hence

solve the original equation.
