3 Separation of Variables - To Print

This document provides examples of differential equations that can be solved using the separation of variables method. It begins by defining the general form of a differential equation that is variable separable as M(x,y)dx + N(x,y)dy = 0, where M and N are functions of x and y alone. It then lists six examples of differential equations and states the goal is to solve them by separation of variables.

Topic: Separation of Variables
Intended Learning Outcome:
1. Solve for the general and particular solution of differential equations by separation of variables.

𝑑𝑦
6. = 𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦
Given the differential equation: 𝑑𝑥

𝑀(𝑥, 𝑦) 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑁 (𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑦 = 0 → 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 1


(General form)

where M and N may be functions of both x and y. If the


above equation can be transformed into the form:
Given: 𝑀 (𝑥, 𝑦) 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑁 (𝑥, 𝑦) 𝑑𝑦 = 0
𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑓(𝑦) 𝑑𝑦 = 0 → 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 2
Steps:
where f(x) is a function of x alone and f(y) is a function of
y alone. Equation 1 is called variable separable. a. Transform the equation into the form:

𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑓(𝑦) 𝑑𝑦 = 0
