Exercise · ZW-EXACT-EQUATION-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate
Solve the exact equation \((2xy+3)\,dx+(x^2-1)\,dy=0\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \(x^2y+3x-y=C\)
Explanation
Integrating \(M\): \(x^2y+3x+h(y)\). Since \(F_y=x^2+h'(y)=x^2-1\), \(h=-y\). The solution is \(F=C\).
Review the concept: Exact equation
An exact equation is a differential equation \(M\,dx+N\,dy=0\) whose left side is the total differential of a function \(F(x,y)\).
\[\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}\]
