Differential Equations (1st Order)

Question 1

What is a first order differential?

Answer 1

One where there is a first derivative

Question 2

Notating and handling constants notation

Answer 2

Question 3

“Verify type questions”

Answer 3

Differentiate (so that no +c to deal with)
Then substitute the original equation into the differential.
To check conditions put on in and just show the other comes out.

Question 4

Answer 4

Two changing variables one expression. Usefulness of proportionality

Question 5

Answer 5

Question 6

What is the separation of variables technique?

Answer 6

When the y can individually be re-arranged to be a coefficient of dy/dx

Question 7

Answer 7

Question 8

Answer 8
