1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Obtain the general solution of $$2xydy - 6y^2dy + 8xdx + y^2dx = 0$$

2. The attempt at a solution

$$2xydy - 6y^2dy + 8xdx + y^2dx = 0$$

$$2xydy + y^2dx = 6y^2dy - 8xdx$$

$$\intd(xy^2) = \int6y^2dy - 8xdx$$

$$xy^2 = \frac{6y^3}{3} - \frac{8x^2}{2}+C$$

$$xy^2 = 2y^3 - 4x^2+C$$

3. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Find the particular solution of the DE that satisfies the condition y = 5 when x = 1

4. The attempt at a solution

$$xy^2 = 2y^3 - 4x^2+C$$

$$(5)^2 = 2(5)^3 - 4+C$$

$$25 = 250 - 4+C$$

$$C = -221$$

Does all of this look right to you? I'm not so sure about the last part?

It's right. Did you really tex all of that up to get someone to check your arithmetic?
