Differential equations with variables separable

\\\mathrm{The \;differential\;of\;the\\;form\;\frac{dy}{dx}=f(x)g(y)\;where\;f(x)\;is\;function\;of\;x}\\\mathrm{and\;g(y)\;is\;a\;function\;of\;y,\;are\;said\;to\;be\;variable\;separrable\;form.}

Rewrite the equation as

\\\mathrm{\frac{dy}{g(y)}=f(x)dx\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;[where\;g(y)\neq0]}\\\\\text{This\;process is separating the variables.}\\\mathrm{Now,\; integrate\;both\;side,\;we\;get}\\\\\mathrm{\int \frac{dy}{g(y)}=\int f(x)\;dx+c}

By this, we get the solution of differential equation

 

Let’s see one illustration for better understanding

Solution of the differential equation \\\mathrm{\frac{dy}{dx}=(e^x+1)(y^2+1)}

Rewrite the differential equation as

\\ \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{1+\mathrm{y}^{2}}=\left(\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}}+1\right) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}\\\\\text{Integrating both sides, we get }\\\\ \int\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{1+\mathrm{y}^{2}}=\int \left(\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}}+1\right) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x} \\\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1} y=e^{x}+x+c\\\Rightarrow y=\tan \left(e^{x}+x+c\right)

Differential Equation Reducible to Variable Separable Form

A differential equation of the form \\\mathrm{\frac{dy}{dx}=f(ax+by+c)} where a, b and c are constants, can be converted into an equation with variables separable by the substitution v = ax + by + c.

\\\mathrm{\frac{dy}{dx}=f(ax+by+c)\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\ldots(i)}\\\\\mathrm{v = ax + by + c.}\\\therefore \quad \frac{d v}{d x}=a+b \frac{d y}{d x} \text { or, } \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{\frac{d v}{d x}-a}{b}\\\\\Rightarrow \;\;\frac{\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{dx}}-\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{b}}=\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{v}) \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\mathrm{bf}(\mathrm{v})+\mathrm{a}\\\\\Rightarrow \;\;\;\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{bf}(\mathrm{v})+\mathrm{a}}=\mathrm{dx}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\ldots\mathrm{(ii)}\\\\\text{In the differential equation (ii), the variables x and v are separated.}\\\text{Integrating (ii), we get}\\\Rightarrow \;\;\;\;\int \frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{bf}(\mathrm{v})+\mathrm{a}}=\int \mathrm{dx}+\mathrm{C}\\\\\Rightarrow \;\;\;\int \frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{bf}(\mathrm{v})+\mathrm{a}}=\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{C}, \text { where } \mathrm{v}=\mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{by}+\mathrm{c}

This represents the general solution of the differential equation (i).
