I. SEPARABLE
A first-order differential equation of the form
dy
dx
=g ( x ) h( y ) is said to be separable
or to have separable variables.
Solving a Separable DE: Solve (1 + x) dy - y dx = 0.
ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION
Because each integral result in a logarithm, a judicious choice for the
constant of integration is ln |c|_ rather than c. Rewriting the second line of the
solution as ln |y| = ln |1 + x | + ln|c| enables us to combine the terms on the right-
hand side by the properties of logarithms. From ln|y| = ln|c (1 +x) | we immediately
get y = c (1 + x). Even if the indefinite integrals are not all logarithms, it may still
be advantageous to use ln|c|. However, no firm rule can be given.
SOLUTION: Dividing by (1 + x ) y , we can write dy / y = dx / (1 + x ), from
which it follows that.

IV. EXACT
A differential expression M (x, y) dx + N (x, y) dy is an exact differential in a
region R of the xy -plane if it corresponds to the differential of some function f (x, y)
defined in R. A first-order differential equation of the form
M ( x , y ) dx+ N ( x , y ) = 0
is said to be an exact equation if the expression on the left-hand side is an exact
differential.
Solving an Exact Differential Equation: Solve 2xy dx + (x
2
[A]
SOLUTION: With M ( x , y ) = 2 xy and N ( x , y ) = x2- 1 we have
∂ y
= 2 x=
∂ x
Thus, the equation is exact, and so by [A] there exists a function f (x, y)
such that
∂ f
∂ x
xy ∧∂ f
∂ y
=x
2
From the first of these equations we obtain, after integrating,
f
x , y
=x

y + g( y)
Taking the partial derivative of the last expression with respect to y and
setting the result equal to N (x, y) gives
∂ f
∂ y
=x

'
( y )=x

It follows that g’(y)= -1 and g(y)= -y. Hence f (x, y) x

y – y, so the

of the equation in implicit form is

VII. SUBSTITUTION
Often the first step in solving a differential equation consists of transforming it
into another differential equation by means of a substitution.
For example, suppose we wish to transform the first-order differential equation
dy
dx
=f (x , y ) by the substitution y=g (x , u), where u is regarded as a function of
variable x. If g possesses first-partial derivatives, then the Chain Rule,
dy

∂ g

dx
dx
∂ g
∂ u
du

gives
dy
dx
=g
x
( x ,u )+ g
u
( x ,u )
du
dx
If we replace
dy
dx
by the foregoing derivative and replace y
in f (x , y )
by g( x , u)
then the DE
dy
dx
=f (x , y ) becomes
g
x
( x ,u )+ g
x
( x , u)
du
dx
=f (x , g ( x , u)) which, solved for
du
dx
, has the form
du
dx
F ( x , u). If we can determine a solution u= ∅ ( x) of this last
equation, then a solution of the original differential equation is y=g
x , ∅ ( x )
.
