Question
Find the particular solution of the differential equation satisfying the given conditions: x2 dy + (xy + y2 )dx = 0; y = 1 when x = 1.
Solution
This is a homogeneous differential equation.
Such type of equations can be reduced to variable separable form by the substitution y = vx.
Differentiating w.r.t.x we get,
Integrating both sides, we get:
Now, it is given that y = 1 at x = 1.
