Homework Statement


I've got an IVP where,
3xy+y2+(x2+xy)y'=0, y(1)=0

The Attempt at a Solution


I've solved to get,
x2y(x+[itex]\frac{1}{2}[/itex]y)=0

Is it correct to say,
x=0 or y=0 or y=-2x,
Since y= 0 is the only solution that fits y(1)=0, then
y=0 [itex]\forall[/itex]x

I didn't check your solution. But in any case, x=0 wouldn't be a solution. Otherwise, assuming your work is OK, yes.
