  Making a differential equation separable   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In the last example in the previous section, we had to rearrange the right-hand side of the differential equation before we could separate the variables.
The equation is then written entirely in terms of this new variable and x.
To write the differential equation in terms of x and v(x), instead of x and y(x), we replace all occurrences of y by vx.

 Differential Equations (Math 3401) - First Order DE's - Separable Equations
Note that in order for a differential equation to be separable all the y's in the differential equation must be multiplied by the derivative and all the x's in the differential equation must be on the other side of the equal sign.
This differential equation is clearly separable, so let's put it in the proper form and then integrate both sides.
This differential equation is easy enough to separate, so let's do that and then integrate both sides.

 Separable differentiable equations and chemical kinetics
Separable differential equations can often be solved analytically by a technique known as separation of variables.
For separable differential equations, it should be clear that the solution process always introduces a constant of integration.
Separable differential equations often appear in chemical kinetics, which is the study of rates of chemical reactions.

 First Order Differential Equations
In any situations where this is possible, the solution of the differential equation reduces to that of evaluating the integrals on each side of the separated equation.
Thus we will assume that the differential equations with which we must deal from now on are not separable in the sense described here.
Since we have eliminated consideration of the separable differential equation, we can conclude that f(x,y) cannot be written as the product of a function of y only and a function of x only, for otherwise, we could separate the y and x parts of the equation.

 Assignment for
I was concerned that a unit on differential equations would be difficult to teach without differentiating because I knew that I had not emphasized these problems last year, but that the other teacher had.
I hypothesized that my students would likely fall into three categories that I had labeled as (1) those who had a complete grasp of separable differential equations and their applications, (2) those who were moderately comfortable and (3) those who were clueless.
Since this was a topic that was covered to some extent by all students, and it was the foundation for further lessons on slope fields and Euler’s method, I felt that the students would benefit from learning, reviewing, or extending their knowledge of the real-world applications of differential equations before taking on the new material.

In this chapter we will examine "first-order" differential equations, which are simply differential equations of the form F(x,y,y') = 0 that do not contain any derivatives of y higher than the first derivative.
Definition: A first-order differential equation is said to be separable if it has the form dy/dx = g(x)/f(y) for some functions g and f.
To solve a separable differential equation we rewrite it in the form f(y)*dy/dx = g(x), then integrate each side with respect x.

 An Introduction to Differential Equations
A differential equation is an equation that defines a relationship between a function and one or more derivatives of that function.
In differential equations the unknowns of concern are no longer unknown variables, but unknown functions that stand in certain mathematical relationships with their derivatives, other functions, constants, and regular variables.
And to continue the analogy yet some more, just as the equations with which you are familiar are classified into types according to their forms and solution techniques, so to with differential equations.

Likewise if (5) is not true there is no way for the differential equation to be exact.
So, the differential equation is exact according to the test.  However, we already knew that as we have given you Ψ(x,y).  It’s not a bad thing to verify it however and to run through the test at least once however.
Now, as we saw in the separable differential equation section, this is quadratic in y and so we can solve for y(x) by using the quadratic formula.

You may recall that in the introduction to module 6, we said that an integral of a function which is exactly the derivative of another function was called a closed form integral.
