The past few modules introduced various ways to solve a
differential equation, separation of variables, integrating factor,
and exact equations. As you can see, you need skills from previous
coursework, in particular algebraic manipulation and both
differentiation and integration, to solve these equations. How do
these skills translate to differential equations? In a general
sense, explain how algebra, differentiation, and integration skills
are necessary to classify and solve first-order ODEs. Include an
example in your explanation.
