The video provides a clear, step-by-step guide for beginners, though mislabeling a simple separation of variables as an "integrating factor" method is a notable pedagogical oversight. It serves its purpose for basic practice but lacks the technical precision expected from a formal university-level course.

MTH211: CALCULUS: TOPIC: DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS USING THE INTEGRATING FACTORS
Added:Yeah, gentlemen and ladies, you are welcome tonight class.
Hello, good evening.
How are you guys?
How was your day?
You are welcome once again.
Okay. Yeah. Tonight uh I will say continue from where we stopped last week, my last class.
Please like, make sure you share and uh also invite others.
Uh we solved one example. We are going to solve another example.
The example says determine the general solution of x dx = 2 - 4x² is simple as ABC. We are still using separation of variables to um to determine the first order differential equation.
After that we will still use what is called integrating factor to uh determine the first order differential equation. It's simple as ABC is that clear? So let's uh proceed.
All right solution right our x uh dy all over dx is = 2 - 4x².
All right. So now how can we separate the variables? We have x here dy / dx = 2 - 4x². So who can tell us and what to do? Look at the board.
Who can tell us and what to do?
Yeah.
And nobody is okay. So if you can see what I am saying or what you will do first is to divide through by this x. So divide uh through by x. So when you divide 2 by x this is what you have x d y dx all x = 2 - 4x² all over x two of us. So this and this will go be left with dy all over dx = to I want us to take note of something here. Now if you can see what I'm saying when we have a + b all over x this is the same as a all x + b all x two of us.
So if you agree with me it means here we are going to have f_sub_2 all x - 4x² all over x right so this and this will cancel to give us the y all over dx = 2 all x - 4x two of us any question at this point please do you have any question Any question at this point?
Do you have any question at this point?
Please ask your question. I'll be very glad to answer your question.
Do you have any question?
Yes or no?
Oh, so we can proceed, right? So you understand what is going on here. So what else we will cross multiply? So we are going to have dy = to open bracket 2 all / x - 4x dx. So at this point we integrate integrating integrating both side right.
Okay. So when we integrate both side this is what we'll have integral open bracket uh uh 2 all x - 4x dx two of course okay uh if you can see what I am saying you don't need a prophet to tell you so here look at the board if you integrate dy you are supposed to have y Then here try to open the bracket with the integral dx. So here will be integral 2 all / x dx. Then - 4x dx. Three of us. Let me write it like a mathematician.
Okay. Three of us. At this point, do you have any question? Please ask. Any question.
Any question? Ask your question please. Ask ask your question. Any question? Yes or no?
Okay. It is there right?
No question. Okay. Is okay. Let's proceed if there's no question. So I want us to note that uh when we have uh when we have uh something of this form 2 all x this is the same thing as uh 2 * 1 all x two of us. So we can write these two outside the integral 1 all x dx minus write the form outside the integral x dx because they are constants two of course. So y will be equals to when we integrate uh 1 all x we are supposed to have e x then what do we have here two? So 2 in x integrate minus integrate x we have for here right 4 * x^ 1 + 1 all 1 + 1 + any constant which is k. So here will be y = 2 in x - 4x² all over 2 + uh k. Then this is the same as y = 2 in x - what? 2x² + uh k two of us. This is what you are supposed to have.
Do you have any question? [groaning] Any question?
Yes. Buari Sani ask your question.
Buhari you want to ask question please ask [groaning] so that we can proceed uh so that we can proceed.
No question.
[groaning] No question is okay. Let's proceed further.
The integration part sir how sir throw more light is okay.
uh I know very well that some of you is your first time of meeting us here. So unfortunate uh you know integration is let us assume this is a function a x^ of n dx right here when integrate x^ n dx it means this will be a x ra to the power of n + 1 all over plus n + 1 + any constant either k or b.
So can you see now this is how to integrate any given function. Oh.
Oh this is uh sorry about it. They just to do the lights.
He lost to the lights.
[groaning] But hold on.
Hold on. If they bring the lights, I will be I will come back.
I will come back.
