linear first order differential equation
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
[tex] \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{xy}{2} + \frac{3y^2}{2} + \frac{3y}{2} [/tex] 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution Don't really know were to begin. If anyone could tell me which method to use that would be great. I can't think of any way to solve this. |

That equation is NOT linear. I don't know if it will work but my first thought is to change coordinates to get rid of that "xy" term.
