Understanding Separable Differential Equations

The video tutorial explains how to identify and solve separable differential equations. It begins by defining separable equations and demonstrates the process of solving them through examples. The instructor shows how to manipulate equations to determine if they are separable and provides step-by-step solutions for both separable and non-separable equations.

What is the key characteristic of a separable differential equation?

• It can be written as a sum of functions of x and y.

• It cannot be integrated.
