`(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` .
