I tried: As the function is homogeneous then : dy/dx = f(y/x) y = rsintheta x = rcostheta y/x = tan(theta) dy/dx = f(tan(theta)) y = xtan(theta) dy/dx = tan(theta) + x sec^2(theta) dtheta/dx tan(theta) + xsec^2(theta) dtheta/dx = f(tan(theta)) xdtheta/dx = [ f((tantheta) - tan(theta) ] / sec^2 theta sec^2 theta dtheta / [ f((tantheta) - tan(theta) ] = dx/x dtan(theta)/f(tantheta) - tan(theta) = ln|x| + c

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Which is an equation which can be solved using separation of variables.

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

is that correct ? is there any other proof ?

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

according to my knowledge a homogeneous equation satisfies the condition \[f(ax,ay)=a^nf(x,y)\]

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

& we in turn can reduce the equation to be solved by variable separation method by putting y=vx

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

according to ur question \ y=xtan \(\theta\)

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Actually that's what the reference says:
