g(y)y 0 = f (x).
To solve, we integrate both sides with respect to x and use the substitution rule on
the left to get Z Z
g(y)dy = f (x)dx.
We carry out the integration and can then solve for y (if possible).
Homogeneous equations
Linear equations
y 0 + P (x)y = Q(x).
Multiplying the equation by I(x) results in a left-hand side that is the derivative of
a product:
(I(x)y)0 = I(x)Q(x).
We integrate with respect to x and then divide by I(x) to solve:
Z

y= I(x)Q(x)dx.
