Understanding Exact Differential Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve an exact differential equation by verifying the condition for exactness and finding the potential function. It begins by introducing the concept of exact differential equations and verifying the condition that the partial derivatives of the functions involved are equal. The tutorial then demonstrates how to solve the equation by integrating with respect to one variable and finding the potential function. Finally, it derives the general solution and presents it as an implicit equation.
