Liner first order differential equations

Definition 4.1. Differential equation is called linear of the first order if it is equation of the first order with respect to and .

, were -are continuous functions and .

Let us divide this equation by

.

Denote and we get equation

Definition 4.1. A differential equation that can be written in the form

is called a linear first order differential equation.

Let us represent unknown function in the form

and find its derivative

On substituting and into the equation we get

or

.

Now we take as particular solution of equation in the brackets

On separating variables we obtain

whence

,

or

To determine the function we have equation
