Which differential equation is separable by moving all \(y\)-factors with \(dy\) and all \(x\)-factors with \(dx\)?
A. \(y'=x+y\)
B. \(y'=xy\)
C. \(y'=x^2+y^2\)
Give the letter and show the separated form.
Hints
- Look for an equation that can be written as a product of a function of \(x\) and a function of \(y\).
- After choosing an equation, move the y-dependent factor to the side with \(dy\).
Solution
1. Choice B has the product form \(y'=xy\).
2. For \(y\ne0\), it separates as \(\frac{1}{y}\,dy=x\,dx\).
Answer
B. For \(y\ne0\), \(\frac{1}{y}\,dy=x\,dx\).
