Put , so . On an interval with , substitution and cancellation giveSince , no constant- solution is lost when separating. Integrateto obtainAfter restoring , a local implicit general solution isThe inverse tangent is chosen continuously on a solution branch. Using the continuous polar angle of extends the expression to charts through when the original equation permits it. A differentiable graph cannot pass through , because there the original equation would require .
