What is a differential equation?

An equation involving an unknown function and its derivatives.

What are first-order differential equations?

Equations involving the first derivative of a function.

What is the general solution of a differential equation?

The most general form, including arbitrary constants.

How is a first-order differential equation typically written?

dydx=f(x,y)\frac{dy}{dx} = f(x, y)

What are separable equations?

Equations where variables can be separated on both sides.

How to find the general solution of separable equations?

Integrate both sides: 1h(y)dy=g(x)dx\int \frac{1}{h(y)} dy = \int g(x) dx

What is the form of a second-order differential equation?

d2ydx2+p(x)dydx+q(x)y=0\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + p(x) \frac{dy}{dx} + q(x)y = 0

How to find the general solution for constant coefficients?

Solve the characteristic equation of the differential equation.

What do the roots of a characteristic equation represent?

They represent the solutions to the differential equation.

Form of the general solution for distinct roots?

y(x)=C1em1x+C2em2xy(x) = C_1 e^{m_1 x} + C_2 e^{m_2 x}
