Very simple in writing, but hard to solve:
[tex]x*\frac{dy}{dx}=(y^2-y x^2)/(y^2+x^2)[/tex]

[tex]x*\frac{dy}{dx}=(y^2-y x^2)/(y^2+x^2)[/tex]
The discussion focuses on solving the ordinary differential equation (ODE) given by x*(dy/dx) = (y^2 - y*x^2)/(y^2 + x^2). Participants suggest converting the equation to polar coordinates due to the presence of x^2 + y^2, which can be represented as r^2. Alex attempts to rewrite the equation in the form (y^2 - y*x^2)dx - (x*y^2 + x^3)dy = 0 but encounters difficulties in finding a solution, noting that the equation is not exact and cannot be made exact through inspection.
PREREQUISITESMathematicians, engineering students, and anyone interested in solving complex ordinary differential equations.
Maybe convert to polar coodinates? That x2+y2 wants to be r2. Maybe not thoughgvk said:Very simple in writing, but hard to solve:
