Recall: Toolbox Approach Given a differential equation Identify the type/nature of the differential equation. Use the specified techniques to solve for the solutions.
Recall: Separable Equations Technique: Separation of Variables
Linear (First Order) D.E. Technique: Multiply both side by the integrating factor It simplifies the left side of the D.E.
Example 1
Remarks 1. Verify is the general solutions. 2. Q: Why not using ? Q: What was the last time we “ignore” the integration constant and why?
Example 2 Q: Is this a linear first order D.E.?
Classwork A D.E. can be solved by an integrating factor, and Separation of Variables.
