1 divide through by x2 and look at it. – Chinny84 Mar 6 '14 at 15:24

I'm new to this differentiation so I don't really know how to go about it. Any help would be much appreciated – Charlie Robson Mar 6 '14 at 15:27

Try to substitute v =
x
and try to solve – fermesomme Mar 6 '14 at 15:32

@Charlie Robson: According to math.stackexchange.com/posts/701815/revisions, you had completely changed to this question. This is not appropriate f

With some manipulation, we have


2 2
(y − xy)dx + x dy = 0

2 2
(xy − y )dx = x dy

2
dy xy − y
=
2
dx x
2
y y
= − ( )
x x

y dy
Now, let v =
x
⟹ y = vx ⟹
dx
= v + x
dv

dx
(product rule). Then,

dv 2
v + x = v − v
dx

dv 2
x = −v
dx
1 dv 1
= −
2
v dx x

Integrating both sides W.R.T x,

1 dv −1
∫ ⋅ dx = ∫ dx
2
v dx x

1 −1
∫ dv = ∫ dx
2
v x

−1
−v = − ln |x| − C

where C is the constant of integration. Then,


−1
v = ln |x| + C

1
v =
ln |x| + C

y
But v =
x
, so

y 1
=
x ln |x| + C

x
y =
ln |x| + C

Thank you for your help so far Before the integration, is it supposed to be just '-1/x' or '-(1/x)x'? Thank you –
Charlie Robson Mar 6 '14 at 15:48

My mistake, it should be just a -1/x. Ive edited my answer. – Yiyuan Lee Mar 6 '14 at 15:49

Sorry I don't know how to do the proper formatting, but... The next line would be: -v^-1=1? – Charlie Robson Mar 6

Or am I completely wrong, I'm having a mind block – Charlie Robson Mar 6 '14 at 15:53

Of course! God I am not doing well today, thanks again! – Charlie Robson Mar 6 '14 at 15:57
