  • 2.1 - Be able to verify a function is/is not a solution. 
  • 2.2 - Be able to identify a separable equation and solve via separation.
  • 2.3 - Be able to solve an equation given by a model, but you will not be expected to create your own model for the exam.
  • 2.4 - Be able to identify a linear equation and solve using the integrating factor and/or variation of parameters.  Know how to solve a Bernoulli equation, see #22, 23, and 25 in the homework.
