Q. Can this differential equation be solved using separation of variables?dxdy=7x+y2Choose 1 answer:(A) Yes(B) No
Check for Separation of Variables: To determine if the differential equation can be solved using separation of variables, we need to see if we can express the equation in the form of g(y)dy=h(x)dx, where g(y) is a function of y only and h(x) is a function of x only.
Rearrange the Equation: Looking at the given differential equation (dxdy=7x+y2), we attempt to separate the variables by moving all y terms to one side and all x terms to the other side.
Attempt Variable Separation: We can rewrite the equation as 7x+y2dy=dx. However, we notice that the term 7x+y2 cannot be easily separated into a function of y times a function of x because it is a mixed term involving both x and y.
Conclusion: Since the term 7x+y2 involves both x and y and cannot be separated into a product of a function of x and a function of y, the differential equation cannot be solved using the method of separation of variables.
