SUMMARY
The general solution of the differential equation y' = 4t - ty² is derived through separation of variables. The discussion confirms that the approach taken is correct, emphasizing the importance of knowing the subset of R for y. If the range is unspecified, it is advisable to retain the modulus in the solution without further specification. This ensures the solution remains valid across the entire domain.
