which equations are separable

Solution

To determine which of these equations are separable, we need to check whether the equation can be rewritten in the form:

dydx=g(x)h(y)\frac{dy}{dx} = g(x) h(y) or some similar variation for other variables like tt and ss. Here's a step-by-step analysis of each equation:

  1. Equation 1: dydx=2y23y1\frac{dy}{dx} = 2y^2 - 3y - 1

    • This equation is separable because it can be written as:
      dy2y23y1=dx\frac{dy}{2y^2 - 3y - 1} = dx which separates yy and xx on different sides.
  2. Equation 2: dydxsin(x3+y4)=0\frac{dy}{dx} - \sin(x^3 + y^4) = 0

    • This equation is not separable because the terms involving xx and yy are mixed within the sine function, making it impossible to separate them.
  3. Equation 3: dxdt=7tet+xt43\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{7te^{t + x}}{t^4 - 3}

    • This equation is not separable because xx and tt are both present in the exponential function, preventing separation.
  4. Equation 4: dsdt=4tln(s3t)+5t2\frac{ds}{dt} = 4t\ln(s^3 t) + 5t^2

    • This equation is not separable due to the ln(s3t)\ln(s^3t) term, which mixes tt and ss.
  5. Equation 5: z2+dzdr=z+1zrz^2 + \frac{dz}{dr} = z + \frac{1}{zr}

    • This equation is not separable due to the presence of both zz and rr on the right-hand side in a non-separable form.
  6. Equation 6: (xy2+3y2)dy2xdx=0(xy^2 + 3y^2)dy - \frac{2x}{dx} = 0

    • This equation can be rearranged as: dydx=2xxy2+3y2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x}{xy^2 + 3y^2} which is separable, as it can be written as: (xy2+3y2)dy2x=dx\frac{(xy^2 + 3y^2)dy}{2x} = dx allowing separation of xx and yy.

Separable Equations:

  • Equation 1: dydx=2y23y1\frac{dy}{dx} = 2y^2 - 3y - 1
  • Equation 6: (xy2+3y2)dy2xdx=0(xy^2 + 3y^2)dy - \frac{2x}{dx} = 0

Tip: Always check if terms involving different variables can be separated to opposite sides of the equation, this will quickly tell you if the equation is separable.
