Differential Equations
Which method should be used first to solve , assuming you have been given an initial condition linking two variables?
Apply integration by parts on either side before attempting separation of variables.
Integrate both sides directly then apply initial conditions secondarily.
Separate variables before integrating each side independently.
Use partial fraction decomposition on either integral prior to addressing variables separately.

For the differential equation , given , what is the subsequent step immediately after applying the separation of variables process?
Integrate the expression and to find the general solution.
Set up the definite integrals with limits from to for and from to for respectively before integration.
Use partial fractions decomposition on the left-hand side expression before integration.
Invert the relationship to get before integrating.
What is the limit of as approaches zero?
