1. Differential Equations Sec 6.3: Separation of Variables

2. Separation of Variables all x terms can be collected with dx, and all y terms with dy, and a solution can be obtained by integration. Such equations are said to be separable, and the solution procedure is called separation of variables.

3. Examples: Separation of Variables

4. Practice Problem Find the general solution of the differential equation:

5. Practice Problem: Particular Solution Given the initial condition y(0) = 1, find the particular solution of the differential equation:

6. Practice Problem: Particular Solution Curve Find the equation of the curve that passes through the point (1, 3) and has a slope of y/x 2 at any point (x, y).

7. Application: Wildlife Population The rate of change of the number of coyotes N(t) in a population is directly proportional to 650 – N(t), where t is the time in years. The population was initially at 300. After 2 years, the population increased to 500. Find the population when t = 3.
