Separable solution families and maximal intervals topic check

Practise separable solution families and maximal intervals in H2 Mathematics, check independently, and return later to review. This check covers selected skills, not the whole course topic.

Learning goals
  • Formulate, use and interpret a mathematical model
  • Produce complete families, excluded solutions and initial-value solutions for polynomial-rate exponential equations
  • Produce exponential solution families and initial-value solutions in the original variable after a given dependent-variable shift
  • Produce quadratic-rate separable solution families, retain lost solutions and determine maximal initial-value intervals
  • Return quadratic-rate solutions from a supplied dependent-variable shift and determine their maximal initial-value intervals
  • GCE A-Level H2 Mathematics 2027

Revision notes

Revise differential equations

Solve separable equations, retain initial-value domains and excluded solutions, then formulate and interpret changing-quantity models.

Key ideas

  1. Separation, initial values and lost solutions

    Retain equilibrium solutions, transform derivatives and initial-value domains, and formulate rate models with physical limits.

What the syllabus asks

From the GCE A-Level H2 Mathematics 2027 syllabus

  • Include: general and particular solutions of dy/dx = f(x)g(y), including reducing to this form by a given substitution; formulating a differential equation from a problem situation; interpreting an equation and its solution contextually.
