`(dr)/(ds) = 0.75s` Find the general solution of the differential equation

`(dr)/(ds)=0.75s`


This differential equation is separable since it has a form



  • `N(y) (dy)/dx=M(x)`

And, it can be re-written as


  • `N(y) dy = M(x) dx`

So separating the variables, the equation becomes


`dr = 0.75s ds`


Integrating both sides, it result to


`int dr = int 0.75s ds`


`r + C_1 = 0.75s^2/2 + C_2`


`r+C_1 = 0.375s^2+C_2`


Isolating the r, it becomes


`r = 0.375s^2+C_2-C_1`


Since C2 and C1 are constants, it can be expressed as a single constant C.


`r = 0.375s^2 + C`



Therefore, the general solution of the given differential equation is `r = 0.375s^2 + C` .
