    Substitution
In summary, solving differential equation (DE) homework allows us to understand and analyze the behavior of a system over time and make predictions and solve real-world problems. The first step in solving such homework is to identify the type of DE and determine if it is separable, linear, or exact. To solve a separable DE, we need to separate the variables and integrate both sides, using the natural logarithm to eliminate the exponential term. This DE homework can be solved analytically using integration techniques or numerically using computer software or numerical methods.

1. What is the purpose of solving differential equation (DE) homework?

Solving DE homework allows us to understand and analyze the behavior of a system over time. It also helps us to make predictions and solve real-world problems in various fields such as physics, engineering, and economics.

2. What is the first step in solving this particular DE homework?

The first step is to identify the type of DE and determine if it is separable, linear, or exact. In this case, the DE is separable.

3. How do you solve separable DEs?

To solve a separable DE, we need to separate the variables and integrate both sides. In this case, we will separate the y and x terms and then integrate using the appropriate integration techniques.

4. What is the significance of the natural logarithm (ln) in this DE?

The natural logarithm is used to solve the DE by separating the variables. It also helps us to eliminate the exponential term, making the equation easier to solve.

5. Can this DE homework be solved analytically or numerically?

This DE can be solved analytically by finding the general solution using integration techniques. It can also be solved numerically using computer software or numerical methods such as Euler's method or the Runge-Kutta method.
