Homework Statement



I was wondering,how do you calculate the particular integral for a differential equation that satisfies a given equation?

Homework Equations



For example an equation like this: (dy/dx)*squareroot of x - squareroot of y= x*square root of y where the values of x and y are: (x,y)=(9.4)

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to solve this equation using the separated variables theorem but I dn't know what to do next!

Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
