use the exact method to solve the DE: 2xydx + x^2ydy=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you confused as to how it's done? Just wanting to check your answer or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i checked for exactness and it wasn't exact so I used the next method to check for exactness and it looks as thought I got something but unsure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't look exact to me because the term on the left has an extra y in it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using the test for exactness it doesnt come out exact but when you use integrating factors to solve then it works

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not an exact diff equation. divide throughout by x^2y and reduce it to separable form and solve it. its easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if i used integrating factor method i was tuahgt to do if it doesnt come out exact then i get the integrating factor of e^(y-ln(y))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u check the exactness?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

partial derivative of M with respect to y and partial derivative of N with respect to x and see if they are equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(x,y)=2xy Q(x,y)=x^2y for exactness partial derivative of p w.r.ty=partial derivative of Q w.r.t x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is a method uzma ,differentiate the term with dx with respect to y and the term with dy with respect to x ,if both differentiated terms become equal then they r exact,otherwise non exact

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

com for chat uzma

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do u guess about the exactness?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when doing that they come out non exact and then there is a method to use after that where you use integrating factors after applying an equation and then go from there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not exact initially

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any help??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the eq is exact

OpenStudy (anonymous):

non exact...m sorry :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the eq can made by multiplying with intgrating factor
