SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on demonstrating that the differential equation $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{x+3y}{x-y}$ is homogeneous. The method involves dividing both the numerator and denominator by x, resulting in the expression $\dfrac{1+3\dfrac{y}{x}}{1-\dfrac{y}{x}}$. This transformation confirms the homogeneity of the equation, allowing for further analysis and solution of the differential equation. The reference to the Segerstrom Science Center at Azusa Pacific University indicates a connection to academic resources for solving homogeneous differential equations.

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{x+3y}{x-y}$
ok well following the book example: divide numerator and denominator by x

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1+3\dfrac{y}{x}}{1-\dfrac{y}{x}}$

apparently, thus this is homogeneous but not sure why?

next solve the DE:unsure:

never did any pencil sketch before
so this is my first one
