Q. Can this differential equation be solved using separation of variables?dxdy=3exyChoose 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 a function of y times dy equals a function of x times dx.
Rewrite the Differential Equation: We start by rewriting the given differential equation as dy=3exydx.
Attempt to Separate Variables: Next, we attempt to separate the variables by dividing both sides of the equation by exy, which would give us (1/exy)dy=3dx. However, this is not a separation of variables because the term exy contains both x and y, and we cannot isolate y terms on one side and x terms on the other side.
Conclusion: Unable to Separate Variables: Since we cannot separate the variables into a product of a function of y and dy equal to a function of x and dx, the differential equation cannot be solved using the method of separation of variables.
