Separable Differential Equations

dimanche 1 septembre 2013

I have read that, if you given a differential equation [itex]\frac{dy}{dx} = f(x,y)[/itex], and can write it in the form [itex]\frac{dy}{dx} = h(x)g(y)[/itex], then you can proceed with the following steps:



[itex]\frac{dy}{g(y)} = h(x)dx[/itex]



integrating



[itex]G(y) = H(x) + c[/itex]



Why are these steps vaild? I thought that one was not supposed to regard [itex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/itex]. I have heard that you can regard it as a fraction, because, before taking the limit, you can manipulate the fraction [itex]\frac{\delta y}{\delta x}[/itex].



Could someone please help?
