Bo separates dy/dx = xy so that all y's are with dy and all x's with dx. Which is right?
- dy/y = dx/x
- y dy = x dx
- dy/y = x dx
- y = x²y/2 + C
Esme separates dy/dx = y/x² so that all y's are with dy and all x's with dx. Which is right?
- y dy = dx/x²
- dy/y = x² dx
- y = −y/x + C
- dy/y = dx/x²
Jun separates dy/dx = (x + 1)y² so that all y's are with dy and all x's with dx. Which is right?
- y² dy = (x + 1) dx
- dy/y² = dx/(x + 1)
- y = (x²/2 + x)y² + C
- dy/y² = (x + 1) dx
