Homework Statement



Multiply the given equation by the given integrating factor and solve the exact equation.

Homework Equations



ydx+(2x-yey)dy=0, \mu(x,y)=y.

The Attempt at a Solution



M=y2, N=2xy-y2ey

Integrating N=\Psiy WRT x I get

xy2-((1/3)y3ey + y2ey)+h(x)=\Psi(x,y)

Differentiating \Psi(x,y) WRT x, I get

\Psix=y2+h'(x)

Thus h'(x)=0, and

\Psi(x,y)=xy2-((1/3)y3ey + y2ey)

The correct answer is xy2-(y2-2y+2)ey=c...

What am I doing wrong? When I solve for psi in the opposite way I get the same wrong answer from before...

Thanks in advance!

But you are looking for a function ψ such that ψx = M and ψy = N.

So to find ψ by integrating ψy = N, you need to integrate both sides with respect to y, not x.
 
This is my take on this.

Multiplying by the integrating factor gives: y2dx+(2xy-y2ey)dy=0

y2dx/dy+2xy=y2ey

(d/dy)(xy2)=y2ey

Integrate both sides WRT y.

\int \frac{d}{dy}(xy^2)\ dy=\int y^2\,e^y\, dy

So, to do it your way,

Integrate M=y2 WRT x → Ψ(x,y)=xy2+h(y)

 → N=Ψy(x,y) → 2xy+h'(y)=2xy-y2ey

 h'(y) = -y2ey

Integrate this & plug it back into Ψ.

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
