Separable Differential Equations


A differential equation is known as a separable differential equation if it can be

written as

= ()

To separable,

multiplied by derivative
= ()

Integrate both sides


=
Solve the ()

()

Example
Solve

= 6 2

1.

Multiplied by derivative

2.

Integrate both sides

1 = 1/25

Separable Differential Equations


Sometimes it is necessary to make substitution so that we can write
the differential equation in separable form.
Example: Use the substitution = + to solve
1. Differentiate the substitution

=1

1 eq (i)

++1
++5

2. Include eq (i) and = + into equation

1=

++1
++5

+ 2 + 3 = 2 +

( + 3)2 = 2 +
( + 3)2 = 2 ,

( + + 3)2 = ,
