Bernoulli Differential Equation Form
A Bernoulli differential equation is nearly identical to a linear, first-order differential equation; however, the only exception is that the forcing function is now multiplied by a factor of y^n, where n is a real number higher than 1.

Process of Solving Bernoulli Differential Equations
We must first divide by y^n to obtain a simplified version of the equation; from there, we then do a substitution such that v = y^(1-n) whereby v is the middle term. From there, we then differentiate v with respect to v and plug in all of the necessary components.

Reduction
Once we have plugged all of the variables in for v, we then treat the equation as a first-order, linear differential equation and identify the integrating factor and solve as necessary.
