Q. Can this differential equation be solved using separation of variables?dxdy=3y2x+1Choose 1 answer:(A) Yes(B) No
Concept of Separation of Variables: Understand the concept of separation of variables. Separation of variables is a method to solve differential equations, where we can separate the variables x and y, in this case) on different sides of the equation. This is possible if we can express the equation in the form of f(y)dy=g(x)dx, where f(y) is a function of y only and g(x) is a function of x only.
Attempt Variable Separation: Attempt to separate the variables in the given differential equation.We have the differential equation dxdy=3y2x+1. To separate the variables, we need to bring all y terms to one side and all x terms to the other side. We can multiply both sides by 3ydy and dx to get 3ydy = (2x+1)dx.
Check Variable Separation: Check if the variables are completely separated.After rearranging, we have 3ydy on one side and (2x+1)dx on the other side. This means that we have successfully separated the variables, with y terms on one side and x terms on the other side.
Confirm Solvability: Confirm that the differential equation can be solved using separation of variables.Since we have separated the variables into the form f(y)dy=g(x)dx, where f(y)=3y and g(x)=2x+1, we can conclude that the differential equation can indeed be solved using the method of separation of variables.
