Special Types Of First_Order Equations Part_3 : Standard Form _ 3 :              Separable equations i.e. equations of the type                f₁(x,p) = f₂(y,q)      ............ (1)    The Charpit's auxiliary equation for equation(1) are        dx/[∂f₁/∂p] = dy/-[∂f₂/∂q]                        = dz/[p∂f₁/∂p - q∂f₂/∂q]                      = dp/-[∂f₁/∂x] = dq/-[∂f₂/∂y] ∴        dx/[∂f₁/∂p] = dp/-[∂f₁/∂x] ⇒ ∂f₁/∂x dx +∂f₁/∂p dp = 0 ⇒df₁(x,p) = 0 Integrating , f₁(x,p) = a (say) ......... (2)   Hence , equation(1) gives                    f₂(y,q) = a       .......... (3) Solving equations (2) and (3) f...
