SUMMARY

The general solution of the differential equation ye^(2x) dx = (4+e^(2x))dy can be obtained using the method of separation of variables. By rearranging the equation to \(\dfrac{dy}{y}=\dfrac{e^{2x}\;dx}{4+e^{2x}}\) and integrating both sides, the solution simplifies to y=C_1(√(4+e^(2x))). This method effectively isolates the variables, allowing for straightforward integration and solution derivation.

We can solve it by separation of variables:

\dfrac{dy}{y}=\dfrac{e^{2x}\;dx}{4+e^{2x}}

Integrating both sides:

\ln |y|=\dfrac{1}{2}\ln|4+e^{2x}|+C=\ln \sqrt{4+e^{2x}}+C

Equivalently,

y=C_1\left(\sqrt{4+e^{2x}}\right).
