Separation of Variables/General Result

Theorem
Suppose a first order ordinary differential equation can be expressible in this form:
 * $\map {g_1} x \map {h_1} y + \map {g_2} x \map {h_2} y \dfrac {\d y} {\d x} = 0$

Then the equation is said to have separable variables, or be separable.

Its general solution is found by solving the integration:
 * $\displaystyle \int \frac {\map {g_1} x} {\map {g_2} x} \rd x + \int \frac {\map {h_2} y} {\map {h_1} y} \rd y = C$
