Linear Equation of Order One

An equation that is linear and of order one on the dependent variable y must be in a form: + = ()
Dividing by A(x)

+ = ()

Solving Linear Equations

Put Equation in the form: + = ()
Determine Integrating Factor v by: =

Solve resultant EXACT EQUATION

Multiply v to both sides of the equation

Complications persist!
If complicated equations arise, it may be possible by some change of variables to transform the equation into a type we know how to solve!

Mathematical Magic!

LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

SOLVABLE!!

WHEN IS THIS VALID???

Bernoullis Equation
Equation of the form:

+ =
Where n is not equal to 1

Solution Scheme
Divide + = by

1 + = ()

Solution Scheme
Let =
1
By differentiation

Substitute z and dz to original equation

Solution Scheme
