Variable Separable
Mediummathematics
The solution of x dy - y dx = 0 is
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
y = Cx
- Rearrange Equation: xdy=ydx.
- Group Variables: Divide by xy (assuming x,y=0).
- ydy=xdx
- Integrate:
- lny=lnx+lnC
- lny=ln(Cx)
- Extract Variables: y=Cx.
- Note: This represents a family of straight lines passing through the origin.
