This form of the equation is the standard form. This differential
equation is said to be Homogenous DE when
Note:
Don’t get confuse by Homogenous Function with Homogenous DE
SOLVING A LINEAR FIRST-ORDER EQUATION
3. Multiply the both sides of the standard form equation by the integrating factor.
The left-hand side of the resulting equation is automatically the derivative of the

Exact differential equation:
An equation
=0 (3)
is called an exact differential equation iff the expression
is an exact differential of some function .
Therefore, by using (2) we can write (3) in the form
that is
So that by integrating we have, is the general solution of (3).
