i have problem to find the solution for : (3x3y+2xy+y3)+(x2+y2)dy/dx=0

i have tried the exact equation method :

(3x3y+2xy+y3)dx+(x2+y2)dy=0

thus M(x,y)=(3x3y+2xy+y3)

and N(x,y)= (x2+y2)

then deltaM/deltay=3x3+2x+3y2
and deltaN/deltax=2x

Since deltaM/deltay does not equal to deltaN/deltax, this imply that the equation is not exact

thus, finding/searching for integrating factor :

1. 1/N(deltaM/deltay-deltaN/deltax)=(3x3+3y3)/(3x3y+2xy+y3)

y cannot be eliminated . thus, this is a function of both x and y, not just x

2. 1/M(deltaN/deltax-deltaM/deltay)=(3x3+3y2)/(x2+y2)

x cannot be eliminated . thus, this is a function of both x and y, not just y


thus i cannot find the integrating factor in order to solve the DE. where I'm gone wrong? can somebody point it out? i guess may be in algebra...

You are on right direction. But not all of ODEs have an easy integrating factor.
 
is there anyway for me to solve the de? please help me...
