Homework Statement



Obtain the general solution of [tex]2xydy - 6y^2dy + 8xdx + y^2dx = 0[/tex]

2. The attempt at a solution

[tex]2xydy - 6y^2dy + 8xdx + y^2dx = 0[/tex]

[tex]2xydy + y^2dx = 6y^2dy - 8xdx[/tex]

[tex]\intd(xy^2) = \int6y^2dy - 8xdx[/tex]

[tex]xy^2 = \frac{6y^3}{3} - \frac{8x^2}{2}+C[/tex]

[tex]xy^2 = 2y^3 - 4x^2+C[/tex]

3. Homework Statement

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

4. The attempt at a solution

[tex]xy^2 = 2y^3 - 4x^2+C[/tex]

[tex](5)^2 = 2(5)^3 - 4+C[/tex]

[tex]25 = 250 - 4+C[/tex]

[tex]C = -221[/tex]

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

i think it looks good...but i am always wrong about these things...can someone else see if this is correct or not
 
It's right. Did you really tex all of that up to get someone to check your arithmetic? :smile:
