In my differential equations book, I have found the following:
Let P 0 ( d y d x ) n + P 1 ( d y d x ) n 1 + P 2 ( d y d x ) n 2 + . . . . . . + P n 1 ( d y d x ) + P n = 0 be the differential equation of first degree 1 and order n (where P i i 0 , 1 , 2 , . . . n are functions of x and y).
Assuming that it is solvable for p, it can be represented as:
[ p f 1 ( x , y ) ] [ p f 2 ( x , y ) ] [ p f 3 ( x , y ) ] . . . . . . . . [ p f n ( x , y ) ] = 0
equating each factor to Zero, we get n differential equations of first order and first degree.
[ p f 1 ( x , y ) ] = 0 ,   [ p f 2 ( x , y ) ] = 0 ,   [ p f 3 ( x , y ) ] = 0 ,   . . . . . . . . [ p f n ( x , y ) ] = 0
Let the solution to these n factors be:
F 1 ( x , y , c 1 ) = 0 ,   F 2 ( x , y , c 2 ) = 0 ,   F 3 ( x , y , c 3 ) = 0 ,   . . . . . . . . F n ( x , y , c n ) = 0
Where c 1 , c 2 , c 3 . . . . . c n are arbitrary constants of integration. Since all the c’s can have any one of an infinite number of values, the above solutions will remain general if we replace c 1 , c 2 , c 3 . . . . . c n by a single arbitrary constant c. Then the n solutions (4) can be re-written as
F 1 ( x , y , c ) = 0 ,   F 2 ( x , y , c ) = 0 ,   F 3 ( x , y , c ) = 0 ,   . . . . . . . . F n ( x , y , c ) = 0
They can be combined to form the general solution as follows:
F 1 ( x , y , c )   F 2 ( x , y , c )   F 3 ( x , y , c )   . . . . . . . . F n ( x , y , c ) = 0                         ( 1 )
Now, my question is, whether equation (1) is the most general form of solution to the differential equation.I think the following is the most general form of solution to the differential equation :
F 1 ( x , y , c 1 )   F 2 ( x , y , c 2 )   F 3 ( x , y , c 3 )   . . . . . . . . F n ( x , y , c n ) = 0                         ( 2 )
If (1) is the general solution, the constant of integration can be found out by only one IVP say, y ( 0 ) = 0. So, one IVP will give the particular solution. If (2) is the general solution, one IVP might not be able to give the particular solution to the problem.

In studying a reflection-transmission problem involving exotic materials, I have come across the following linear first-order differential equation:
(1) A t g ( t ) + B g ( t ) = f ( t ) ,
where A and B are constants, g(t) is associated with the reflected wave, and f(t) is a (finite) driving function associated with the incident wave. Both A and B may be positive or negative. I am interested in the behavior of the solution in the limit that A 0
In studying a reflection-transmission problem involving exotic materials, I have come across the following linear first-order differential equation:A∂∂tg(t)+Bg(t)=f(t),(1)where A and B are constants, g(t) is associated with the reflected wave, and f(t) is a (finite) driving function associated with the incident wave. Both A and B may be positive or negative. I am interested in the behavior of the solution in the limit that A\rightarrow0.
I know there is an exact solution to Eq. (1), which is
g ( t ) = C e B t / A + 1 A t e B ( t t ) / A f ( t ) d t ,
where C=0 because g(t)=0 if f(t)=0. However, I do not understand how this exact solution reduces to the case where A=0, which is g ( t ) = B 1 f ( t ). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I've seen a lot of documents discussing asymptotic analyses of linear differential equations, but they all start with second-order equations. Is this because there is inherently problematic with first-order?

If you need a first-order differential equation solver or try to solve college-level first-order differential equations, take a look at the questions and answers that have already been provided. Study available solutions and see how these have been composed with related explanations. Start with at least one first-order differential equation solution and see how variables work because the majority of questions already have answers regarding main objectives. It is what makes first-order differential equation problems so challenging as they are always given complex instructions. Seek answers that help to see first-order differential equation solver with steps that must be taken.
