Exact Differential Equations Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to solve exact differential equations. It begins by introducing the concept and checking if a given differential equation is exact by comparing partial derivatives. The tutorial then explains the meaning of an exact equation, where a function exists such that its total differential matches the given equation. The process of solving involves integrating with respect to one variable and differentiating with respect to the other, leading to the final solution set equal to a constant.

What is the first step in solving a differential equation to check if it is exact?

• Integrate the equation
