Linear first order ODE (Page: 3)
Let's solve the same equation \(y\prime = 2xy\) by separating variables and proving that both methods will give the same results.
\[\frac{\mathop{dy}}{\mathop{dx}} = 2xy \]
\[\frac{\mathop{dy}}{y} = 2x\mathop{dx}\]
\[\int\frac{\mathop{dy}}{y} = \int 2x\mathop{dx}\]
\[\ln{\left|y\right|} = x^2 + C\]
\[e^{\ln{\left|y\right|}} = e^{x^2 + C}\]
\[y = Ae^{x^2}\]
As you can see, we have the same answer, which meant that both techniques work perfectly and for some equations it is your choice which technique to use for solving.
