Module 4

Bernoulli's equation is a type of first-order linear differential equation. It can be written in the form: dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)yn, or dy/dy + P(y)x = Q(y)xn Where n is not equal to 1. It can be converted to a first-order linear equation by making a variable substitution to eliminate the exponent n. The general solution is found by multiplying both sides by an integrating factor to solve for y. An example problem demonstrates finding the general solution of a specific Bernoulli's equation.
