Recall that ,
dy
= g(x)f (y)
dx
is said to be separable or to have separable variables.
That is: the relation between the variables x & y is based on multiplication
(or division) only.
dy
+ P (x)y = g(x)
dx
is said to be a linear equation in the dependent variable y.
dy
That is: In this type we have the derivative dx (y 0 ) and y to the power 1 only.
(Exact) Let M (x, y) and N (x, y) be continuous and have continuous first partial deriva-
tives in a rectangular region R defined by: a < x < b, c < y < d. Then
a necessary and sufficient condition that M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy be an exact
di↵erential is:
@M @N
= .
@y @x
Remember: We prove at the class that every sparable ODE is an exact ODE
and every linear ODE is an exact ODE after using the integrating factor
,I hope you remembered that already! ,
dy
+ P (x)y = g(x)y n , n 6= 0, n 6= 1
dx
is called Bernoullis equation.
dy
That is: In this type we have the derivative dx
(y 0 ) and two y’s one to the
power 1 and the other might have any power.
(Homogeneous) Simply note that the sum of powers of each term is fixed ,.

Problem one:
(a) y 0 = ey x
.
dy
or = ey x
or ey dx e x .dy = 0 ,All are the same !,
dx
(b) y 0 = x + xy 2 . (use the fact that x is a common factor).
xy 3
(c) y 0 = p .
1 + x2
Problem two:
(a) xy 0 = x4 4y. (Don’t panic ,Just arrange it in the linear form ,.)

(b) y 0 cot x = y + 2 cos x , with y(0) = 2
. (Remember to find the value of C).
(c) y 0 + 2xy = xy 3 .
(c) y 2 y 0 = ex y3.

Problem four:
