Variable Separation, 7

Category: Differential Equations

"Published in Newark, California, USA"

Find the general solution for


Solution:

Consider the given equation above


Since the grouped terms consist of only one variable, then we can divide both sides of the equation by (y + 2)(x - 2) so that we can separate dx and dy from other variables as follows




Integrate both sides of the equation, we have





Take the inverse natural logarithm on both sides of the equation, we have







Therefore, the general solution is


where K = C + 4.
