Differential Equations - Solving Differential Equations by Separation of Variables

  1. Solve \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}-\frac{y}{x}=1\), using the substitution \(y=vx\).
  2. Solve \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=\frac{y-x+1}{y-x+5}\), using the substitution \(z=y-x\).
  3. Solve \(2x^{3}\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=x^{2}y+1\), using the substitution \(y=u\sqrt{x}\).
  4. Solve \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}+\sin 2y=\sin^{2}y\), using the substitution \(z=\tan y\).
