Expert-verifiedIn problem , determine whether the differential equation is separable .
The differential equation is not separable.
A first-order ordinary differential equation is referred to as separable if the function in the right-hand side of the equation is expressed as a product of two functions that is a function of alone and that is a function of alone.
Mathematically, the equation is separable, when
The given equation is
Write the given equation as follows:
role="math" localid="1654761564667"
Now, use the trigonometrical to identity . It results,
In this case, equation (2) becomes,
The function in the right – hand side of equation (3) is
This function can’t be written as a product of two functions and .
Therefore, the given differential equation is not separable.
