  1. 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
  2. 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
  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?

    • y² dy = (x + 1) dx
    • dy/y² = dx/(x + 1)
    • y = (x²/2 + x)y² + C
    • dy/y² = (x + 1) dx
  4. A seed tray's sprout count follows dy/dt = 0.5y with y(0) = 10 (example data). Kira separates and solves. What is y(2), to the nearest hundredth?

  5. An account balance in dollars follows dy/dt = 0.2y with y(0) = 50 (example data). Luz separates and solves. What is y(5), to the nearest hundredth?

  6. Dye left in a tank, in grams follows dy/dt = -0.3y with y(0) = 80 (example data). Milo separates and solves. What is y(2), to the nearest hundredth?

  7. A savings fund in dollars follows dy/dt = 0.1y with y(0) = 200 (example data). Noah separates and solves. What is y(3), to the nearest hundredth?

  8. dy/dx = x/y with y(0) = 3. Pia separates, integrates and uses the start. What is y(4)?

  9. dy/dx = x/y with y(0) = 5. Ren separates, integrates and uses the start. What is y(12)?

  10. dy/dx = x/y with y(0) = 6. Tala separates, integrates and uses the start. What is y(8)?

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.
