Homogeneous Differential Equations and Solutions

The video tutorial explains how to solve homogeneous differential equations using substitution. It begins by defining homogeneous equations and introduces the substitution method, where V equals Y divided by X. The tutorial then walks through an example problem, demonstrating how to transform it into a separable differential equation. The solution involves integrating both sides and applying initial conditions to find the particular solution. The tutorial concludes with a complete solution for the given initial value problem.
