Q. Can this differential equation be solved using separation of variables?dxdy=3y−y2cos(x)Choose 1 answer:(A) Yes(B) No
Check Equation: First, we need to check if the differential equation can be rearranged so that all terms involving x are on one side and all terms involving y are on the other side. This is the essence of separation of variables.
Multiply by (3y−y2): We start by multiplying both sides of the equation by (3y−y2) to move the y terms to the left side:(3y−y2)dxdy=cos(x).
Divide by (3y−y2): Next, we divide both sides by (3y−y2) to isolate dy on the left side:dy=(3y−y2cos(x))dx.
Isolate dy: Now, we have successfully separated the variables, with all y terms on the left side and all x terms on the right side. This means that the differential equation can be solved using the method of separation of variables.
