The equation dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)y<sup>n</sup> (n not= 0,1) is called:

Answer: Bernoulli DE.

  • A Linear DE
  • B Bernoulli DE
  • C Exact DE
  • D Homogeneous DE

Correct answer: B. Bernoulli DE

Explanation: Bernoulli equation: dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)y<sup>n.</sup> Solved by substituting z = y<sup>1-n</sup>.

Family of Solution Curves: y = Ax²Each value of the constant A gives ONE particular curve from the family

The general solution y=Ax² represents an entire FAMILY of curves, one for each value of the arbitrary constant A; a particular solution (fixed by an initial condition) selects exactly one curve from this family.
