Separable Variables

Separating variables is a technique for solving ordinary differential equations. The differential equation being solved must be able to be written in the following form:

To solve using this method:

  1. Write the above in the this form:
  2. Integrate both sides to get
  3. Solve for y (if you can) to get an explicit solution or leave it as is to get an implicit solution.
