Q.3 (C) (ii) Solve the following differential equation \((x^2-yx^2)dy+(y^2+xy^2)dx=0\)

Solution : Separating the variables, the given equation can be written as :

\(\square\,dy+\square\,dx=0\)
\(\therefore\left(y^{-2}-\frac{1}{y}\right)dy+\left(x^{-2}+\frac{1}{x}\right)dx=0\)
\(\square\,dy-\frac{1}{y}dy+x^{-2}dx+\square\,dx=0\)
Integrating we get,
\(\int y^{-2}dy-\int\frac{1}{y}dy+\int x^{-2}dx+\int\frac{1}{x}dx=0\)
\(\therefore\frac{y^{-1}}{-1}-\square+\frac{x^{-1}}{-1}+\square=c\)
\(-\frac{1}{y}-\frac{1}{x}+\log x-\log y=c\)
\(\log x-\log y=\square+c\)
is the required solution.

Answer: \(\log x-\log y=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+c\)

The equation is \(x^2(1-y)dy+y^2(1+x)dx=0\). Dividing by \(x^2y^2\):

\(\frac{1-y}{y^2}dy+\frac{1+x}{x^2}dx=0\), i.e. \(\left(y^{-2}-\frac{1}{y}\right)dy+\left(x^{-2}+\frac{1}{x}\right)dx=0\).

Boxes in order:

  • \(\frac{1-y}{y^2}\,dy+\frac{1+x}{x^2}\,dx=0\)
  • \(y^{-2}\,dy-\frac{1}{y}dy+x^{-2}dx+\frac{1}{x}\,dx=0\)
  • \(\frac{y^{-1}}{-1}-\log y+\frac{x^{-1}}{-1}+\log x=c\)
  • \(\log x-\log y=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+c\)

This is the general solution (it may also be written \(\log\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+c\)).
