Differential Equations and Direction Fields

The video tutorial explains how to solve a separable differential equation with an initial condition. It begins by rewriting the equation in a separable form, then integrates both sides to find a general solution. The tutorial continues by solving for y and finding a particular solution using the given initial condition. Finally, the solution is graphed over a direction field to verify its accuracy.
