Differential equation is a scoring topic from JEE Main point of view as every year 1 question is certainly
asked. Every candidate should take care of not letting go easy marks from this topic. To revise effectively
read and revise from the Differential Equations Short Notes PDF.

1. Differential Equations

A differential equation is a just as a normal equation consists of variables and numeric constants. The only
difference in between the normal equation and differential equation is that the former contains one
variable and constants whereas, in the differential equation, it consists of independent variables,
dependent variables, and numeric constants only.

NOTE: Numeric constant means numbers

Examples of the differential equation:

; ;

Classify which of the following are differential equations:

: A perfect differential equation

: A perfect differential equation

x - y = 0: Not a differential equation.

2. Order and degree of a differential equation

Order of differential equation is defined as the highest number of times the dependent variable is
differentiated with respect to the independent variable.

The degree of a differential equation is defined as the highest power of the highest order differential
variable in the equation.

For example: in the equation, the order is 3 and the degree is 1.

3. Formation of a differential equation from a given equation

Whenever an equation is given, choose the dependent variable and independent variable.

Then differentiate the equation with respect to the independent variable. Now try and eliminate the
constants and variables other than the dependent and differential term.

NOTE: Differentiate the equation as many numbers of variable or constants in the equation

Example: (ax+y2) =0. Find differential form

On differentiating w.r.t x we get

So,

Thus, substituting in parent equation we get

4. General format of First order differential form

(a). Variable Separable form

If the equation is given in the form

and such that

Then this technique is applicable

Example:

Solution: Now we can separate in the following format

eydy=exdx

Integrating both sides, we get

ey=ex + C

(b) Differential equations reducible to a separable variable type

If the given equation is in the form of

; Then apply this technique.

Put ax+by=t , then differentiating we get

Substitute value of t and in terms of and solve the given problem.

Example:

Solve:

Solution:

Let x+2y=t

Thus

Putting in the equation

Now integrate both sides to get

5. HOMOGENEOUS FORM

A function f(x) is said to be in homogeneous form if the independent variable can be expressed in terms of
the dependent variable and vice-versa.

In this type consider y=vx and hence

Substitute these values in the equation and obtain the result.

6. Exact Differential form

Certain differential equation need not be rearranged or solved using first-order solving technique.

They can be integrated directly to obtain the result

For example:

Solution:

Thus, integrating w.r.t x

We, get

ycosx=x+C

7. First order Linear Differential form

The general format of the equation is in the form

This is a must format and the technique could be applied only when this form is satisfied.

Now we need to find the Integration Factor (I.F.)=

Now multiply each term with the I.F.

Hence, we get

Now by exact form, the LHS can be converted as

Now integrate both sides to obtain the required result.

For example:

Solution;

IF=e∫2 dx

=e2x

Thus, our next form becomes

Thus, our equation becomes

Thus solution becomes

x=ye2x + C
