MHB Norwin Dole's question at Yahoo Answers about a differential equation

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on solving the differential equation ye^(2x) dx = (4+e^(2x))dy using the method of separation of variables. The solution involves rearranging the equation to isolate dy/y and integrating both sides. The integration results in ln|y| = (1/2)ln|4+e^(2x)| + C, leading to the general solution y = C_1(√(4+e^(2x})). This approach effectively demonstrates how to derive the general solution for the given first-order differential equation. The thread provides a clear example of applying separation of variables in differential equations.

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).
