Equations which can be written in the form

\[\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = f(x),   \dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = f(y),   \dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = f(x)f(y)\]

can all be solved by integration.

In each case it is possible to separate the $x$'s to one side of the equation and the $y$'s to the other

Solving such equations is therefore known as solution by separation of variables
