Solutions:
1. (2y3 + 2y2) dx + (3y2x + 2xy) dy = 0.
M/y = 6y2 + 4y
N/x = 3y2 + 2y
This equation is not exact.
This equation does not have an integrating factor that is a function of y alone.
This equation does not have an integrating factor that is a function of x alone.
This equation does not have an integrating factor that is a function of x alone.
This equation does not have an integrating factor that is a function of y alone.
x(dy/dx) + 4y = x2 sin x so this equation is linear.
dy/dx = (4y x2 sin x)/x = (4y/x + x sin x)
This equation is not separable.
7. (3x2 + y)dx + (x2y x)dy = 0
M/y = 1 N/x = 2xy 1, so this equation is not exact.
y = x4/3 x ln |x| + Cx So you get the same solution, except for that quirky x(y) 0.
===============================================================
12. (2xy3 + 1) dx + (3x2y2 1/y) dy = 0
M/y = 6xy2
N/x = 6xy2 So this one is exact!
F(x, y) = (2xy3 + 1)dx + h(y) = x2y3 + x + h(y)
h(y) = F(x, y) x2y3 x
h'(y) = (3x2y2 1/y) 3x2y2 0 = 1/y
h(y) = ln |y|
Solution: x2y3 + x ln |y| = C.
