So let's say we're looking at this differential equation, 3x squared minus 3, d, y, over dx equals 2.
00:06
And if i want to take it back to the general solution, then i want to get rid of that dy over dx.
00:12
So actually, my first move would be to try and isolate dy over dx.
00:17
So i would subtract that 3x squared to the other side, and then i would divide by the negative 3.
00:27
So dy over dx is by itself, dividing by the negative 3 gives me a 1.
00:32
X squared minus two thirds, dividing both terms by negative three.
00:37
So at this point, i am ready to separate the variables.
00:42
To do that, i'm going to multiply the dx to the other side.
00:46
That allows me to continue to reverse the process of the derivative here by taking the anti -derivative.
00:55
So on the left, i have the integral of d -y, which is like one times d -y.
01:00
So that integral goes to y equals.
01:02
And then on the right side, the anti -derivative here, i would add one to the exponent and then put that exponent, that new exponent on the denominator.
01:14
I'm doing the reverse of the power rule for the antiderivative.
01:17
So one -third x cubed.
01:19
And then minus two -thirds x.
01:21
Remember if you have just a constant in the integral, it becomes the coefficient for your anti -derivative...
