Differential Equations and Integrals

The video tutorial demonstrates solving a differential equation using the separation of variables method. It begins by explaining how to rewrite the equation to separate y and x terms. The process involves multiplying both sides by dx and y, followed by integrating both sides. U substitution is used to simplify the integration. Finally, the equation is solved for y, considering both positive and negative roots. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of upcoming content involving trigonometric functions.
