Question
Show that the following differential equation is homogeneous and find a primitive of it. Derive the solution wherever possible:
(x2 + y2) y' = 8 x2 - 3 x y + 2 y2
Solution
The given differential equation is


Put

Separating the variables, we get,

Integrating,

Put
...(1)
Put

(1) can be written as
...(2)
Equating coefficients in (2) of
V2) 1 =A - B
v) 0 = 2 B - C

which is required primitive.
