1. 1.

   Ari separates dy/dx = x/y so that all y's are with dy and all x's with dx. Which is right?

   • dy/y = x dx
   • y dy = x dx
   • y = x²/(2y) + C
   • y dy = dx/x
2. 2.

   Bo separates dy/dx = xy so that all y's are with dy and all x's with dx. Which is right?

   • dy/y = x dx
   • dy/y = dx/x
   • y = x²y/2 + C
   • y dy = x dx
3. 3.

   Jun separates dy/dx = (x + 1)y² so that all y's are with dy and all x's with dx. Which is right?

   • y = (x²/2 + x)y² + C
   • y² dy = (x + 1) dx
   • dy/y² = (x + 1) dx
   • dy/y² = dx/(x + 1)
