  1. dy/dx = e^(x − y) with y(0) = ln 3. Bo writes it as eʸ dy = eˣ dx and solves. What is y(1), to the nearest hundredth?

  2. dy/dx = e^(x − y) with y(0) = ln 4. Jun writes it as eʸ dy = eˣ dx and solves. What is y(0.5), to the nearest hundredth?

  3. A sprout count follows dy/dt = ky (example data): 100 at t = 0, 400 at t = 3. What does Kira find it is at t = 6?

  4. A fund in dollars follows dy/dt = ky (example data): 50 at t = 0, 150 at t = 2. What does Luz find it is at t = 4?

  5. A solar panel count follows dy/dt = ky (example data): 20 at t = 0, 60 at t = 5. What does Milo find it is at t = 15?

  6. Dye in grams follows dy/dt = ky (example data): 80 at t = 0, 40 at t = 1. What does Noah find it is at t = 3?

  7. dy/dx = cos x / y with y(0) = 2 and y > 0. Pia separates and solves. What is y(π/2), to the nearest hundredth?

  8. dy/dx = cos x / y with y(0) = 3 and y > 0. Ren separates and solves. What is y(π/6), to the nearest hundredth?

About this worksheet

Separable differential equations. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can separate the variables of dy/dx = f(x)g(y).
  • I can integrate both sides and use a start value to find a particular solution.
  • I can solve growth, decay and cooling models.

Standard: none (beyond CCSS)

Words to know

separable: dy/dx = (x-part) × (y-part).

general solution: All the solutions, with a constant C.

dy/dt = ky: Growth or decay at a rate proportional to the amount.

Common mistakes

Moved the y-factor to the dy side the wrong way: a factor that multiplies on one side divides on the other.

Changed the x-factor while separating. Only the y's move.

Integrated in x while y was still on the right. Separate first.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with separable differential equations?

Moved the y-factor to the dy side the wrong way: a factor that multiplies on one side divides on the other.
