What does “Separation of variables” actually mean in Differential Equations, and why does it matter for JEE?
if you can write dy/dx = g(x)·h(y), gather all y-terms on one side and x-terms on the other, then integrate.
In simple words: if you can write dy/dx = g(x)·h(y), gather all y-terms on one side and x-terms on the other, then integrate. Getting Separation of variables clear matters because JEE questions on Differential Equations usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Separation of variables
Common mistake
integrating before separating the variables.
Memory tip
get all y with dy and all x with dx, then integrate both sides.
