Show that the differential equation dy/dx = (x + y)^2 can be reduced to a separable equation by using substitution z = x + y. Then obtain the solution for the original differential equation. Solutions: i) Differentiate both sides of the substitution with respect to x ii) Substitute into the DE iii) Write into separable form iv) Integrate the separable equation

Step 1
Then, differentiate both sides of the substitution with respect to x: dz/dx = d(x + y)/dx dz/dx = 1 + dy/dx Show more…

Show that a differential equation of the form $$ \frac{d y}{d x}=f(a x+b y+c) $$ is reduced to separable form by means of the substitution $u=a x+b y$ Use the method in Exercise 26 to find the general solution:
Consider the differential equation $$y^{\prime}=F(a x+b y+c)$$ Where $a, b \neq 0,$ and $c$ are constants. Show that the change of variables from $x, y$ to $x, V,$ where $$V=a x+b y+c$$ reduces Equation (1.8.17) to the separable form $$ \frac{1}{b F(V)+a} d V=d x $$
