Out[1]=
Even when variables can be separated, the final solution might be accompanied by a warning message from Solve, or it might only be given as an InverseFunction object.
Solving this ODE generates a warning message because Solve obtains an expression for y[x] using Log, the inverse of Exp. This warning message can be ignored.
