Example
Find the area of the region enclosed by the curve = 2, the and the
lines = 1, and = 3
Solution
In order to find the area we should express x in terms of y :
= 2

In general, we obtain solutions using integration. When we integrate, the solution
involves the constant of integration, and this is called a general solution of the
differential equation. The constant is evaluated using initial conditions to give a
particular solution.
