- == 1. A separable differential equation can be written in the form hy) = g(a) where h(y) is a function of y only, and g(x) is a function of r only. All of the equations below are separable. Rewrite each of these in the form h(y) = g(x), then find a general solution by integrating both sides.

A line passes through the point A and the point C=(11/2,0) on the x-axis. In this problem, we will investigate the coordinates of the intersection point B between the circle and the line, as 1 → ∞ A=(0,2r) B (0,0) (a) The line through A and C has equation: y= 2 117 x+27 (b) The x-coordinate of the point B is 4472 121,2 +4 40 (c) The y-coordinate of the point B is +27 121 44 (d) The limit as r→ ∞ of the x-coordinate of B is 121 (if your answer is oo, write infinity).arrow_forward1.
