1
State the central method of Separable Differential Equations and list the conditions that must be checked.
Faculty solution: Use separating dependent and independent variables before integrating. State the relevant hypotheses, domain or interval, units when applicable, and a verification plan.
2
Solve y′=xy, y(0)=3.
Faculty solution: ln|y|=x²/2+C; y=3e^{x²/2}.
3
Solve y′=2x/(1+y), y(0)=0.
Faculty solution: y+y²/2=x²; choose the branch satisfying y(0)=0.
4
A learner makes an error by ignoring initial conditions, step size, equilibria, or model residuals. Explain the first invalid step and repair the reasoning.
Faculty solution: The first invalid step is ignoring initial conditions, step size, equilibria, or model residuals. Return to the governing definition or theorem, restore the missing condition, and verify the corrected result.
5
Create a short application of Separable Differential Equations in population, cooling, mixing, finance, medicine, circuits, and resource systems. Define variables and identify the quantity an integral, differential equation, sequence, or series would measure.
Faculty solution: A defensible response defines variables and units, states assumptions, builds the correct mathematical object, and interprets its value in population, cooling, mixing, finance, medicine, circuits, and resource systems.
6
Describe two independent ways to verify a result from Separable Differential Equations.
Faculty solution: Use an exact structural check such as differentiation, substitution, partial sums, or theorem hypotheses; then compare with numerical, graphical, dimensional, or limiting evidence.
