Separable Differential

Equations
Solutions to Differential Equations
A separable first–order differential equation has the form
dy g(x)
----- = ------
dx h(y)
To solve the equation,

1. Rewrite it as h(y) dy = g(x) dx. (cross multiply)

2. Integrate both sides ∫ h(y) dy = ∫ g(x) dx

3. Solve for y. (remember to include C)

4. Use initial condition to solve for C

Example 6
A point is moving along a line in such a way that its velocity is 4-
2t. When t = 0, the position is 0. Find the position at time t, and the
acceleration. ds
----- = v(t) = 4 – 2t a(t) = -2
dt

ds = (4 – 2t) dt

∫ ds = ∫ (4 – 2t) dt

s = 4t – t² + C

0 = 4(0) – (0)² + C 0 = C

s = 4t – t²
Example 7
A formula for acceleration, a, of a point P moving on a line is a= 6t - 6,
where s = 0, v = 2 and t = 0. Find the law of motion.

a(t ) = 6t – 6

∫dv = ∫(6t – 6) dt

v(t) = 3t² – 6t + v0 v(0) = 3(0)² – 6(0) + v0 = 2 v0 = 2


ds
----- = v(t) = 3t² – 6t + 2
dt

∫ds = ∫(3t² + 6t + 2) dt

s(t) = t³ + 3t² + 2t + s0 s(0) = 0³ + 3(0)² + 2(0) + s0 = 0 s0 = 0

s(t) = t³ + 3t² + 2t
