Differential Equations and Integrals

The video tutorial explains how to find the general solution to the differential equation Y' = -XY²/3, including singular solutions. It begins by identifying y = 0 as a singular solution and then uses the separation of variables technique to solve the equation. The process involves rearranging terms, integrating both sides, and solving for y. The final general solution is y = 6/(x² + D), where D is a constant. The tutorial also emphasizes the importance of recognizing singular solutions.
