in differential equations, how did the particular solution of ydx+(2x+3y)dy = 0 became xy^2+y^3=c??? The answer that I got was ln y+1/3ln((x/y)+1)=c....how did that happen?? plssss help

will @ganeshie8 know?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer I got was ln y + 1/3ln(x/y + 1) = c
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
did u solve it by substitution ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes... I used x=uy; dx=udy+ydu
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then I arrived with this answer, lny+1/3ln((x/y) + 1) = c... but the book's answer is xy^2+y^3=c

both answers are equivalent
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
just simplify the log in ur answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but how did that happen?? can you show me how??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when I try to simplify, i get \[\ln(y(x/y)+1)^{1/3}=c\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\ln(y(x/y+1)^{1/3})=c\]

how did that turn into xy^2+y^3=c?? @ganeshie8
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
lny+1/3ln((x/y) + 1) = c
multiply thru by 3 :
3lny + ln(x/y + 1) = C
lny^3 + ln(x/y +1) = C
ln(y^3(x/y)+1) = C
ln(xy^2 + y^3) = C
