An exact differential equation is a differential equation that can be solved in the following manner.


Suppose you are given an equation of the form:

or

(we will call this equation 1)


Before we begin solving it, we must first check that the equation is exact. This means that:

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial N}{\partial t}}

To find the solution of this equation, we assume that the solution is φ = constant. We assume that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t} = M} and . (If we substitute M and N back into (1), it yields , which makes sense.)


To find Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y} , manipulate the substitutions of M and N to get Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle M \partial t = \partial \phi} and . Integrate both sides. To get the main function φ write the sum of each term found in each equation. For terms that appear in both equations, only write them once.
