Definition: An equation containing derivatives such as dy/dx or d²y/dx² is called a differential equation . KEY CONCEPT: The solution of a differential equation is a function , not just a number! Types of Solutions Solution Type Description Example General Solution Contains arbitrary constant(s) y = x³ + C Particular Solution Specific solution using initial conditions y = x³ + 5 First-Order Differential Equation: Contains only dy/dx (first derivative) Example: dy/dx = 3x² Differential Equation General Solution Particular Solution ๐ง Section 10.1: Separation of Variables The Basic Method STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE: Separate the variables: Rearrange to get f(y)...
