Integration: Differential Equations
All equations with derivatives of a variable w.r.t. another are called 'differential equations'. A first order differential equation contains a first derivative eg dy/dx.
It might not be appreciated, but ALL integrals are derived from original 'first-order' differential equations.


First Order with 'variables separable'
Solution is by collecting all the 'y' terms on one side, all the 'x' terms on the other and integrating each expression independently.
Example #1
Note how the constant of integration C changes its value.
Example #2
First Order 'linear' differential equations
By definition 'linear' differential equation have the form:
