Consider the general inseparable equation
Now we will define a special factorial, μ as
Thus:
From here we can solve the equation using the above definition:
(using the product rule in reverse)
Finally, we obtain:
This can be used to solve most all inseparable equations containing no y to a degree other than one. For example, solving the inseparable equation:
By arranging in the form required, we obtain:
Now all that is necessary is to find the value of μ to plug into our original equation of
Plugging this into the original equation and simplifying gives us our final answer:
Consider for example the inseparable equation
Let us solve it using the Laplace transform. One has that
Using the convenience that Laplace transforms follow the rules of linearity, one can solve the above example for y by performing a Laplace transform on both sides of the differential equation, substituting in the initial values, solving for the transformed function, and then performing an inverse transform.
For the above example, assume initial values are and Then,
It follows that
or
Now one can just take the inverse Laplace transform of Y to get the solution y to the original equation.

“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
