Differential equation definition

An equation involving a differential like dydx\frac{dy}{dx}

Solving a differential equation means

Eliminating the differential by integration

General solution

Solution to a differential equation containing constant +c+c

Particular solution

Solution where the value of cc is determined

Separation of variables technique

Put xx's with dxdx, yy's with dydy

∫1ydy\int \frac{1}{y} dy equals

ln⁡∣y∣+c\ln|y| + c

∫f′(x)f(x)dx\int \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} dx equals

ln⁡∣f(x)∣+c\ln|f(x)| + c

Why constant on one side only in separation?

Only need one cc when integrating both sides

Proportionality a∝ba \propto b means

a=kba = kb (where kk is constant)

Decreasing rate notation

Use negative sign (e.g., dxdt=−kx\frac{dx}{dt} = -k\sqrt{x})
