Solution Verification for Dy = 2y/x using y = Cx^2

[Dr Game]

Homework Statement

Verify that the function is a solution of the DE

Dy = \frac{2y}{x} , y = Cx^2

2. The attempt at a solution

LHS = Dy = D(Cx^2) = 2 Cx
RHS = \frac{2y}{x}

then... I really don't know what to do from there... do I just simply things?

Well, how about replacing that y in RHS with Cx²?

2Cx = \frac {2Cx^2}{x}

2Cx = 2Cx

is that possible?

 

[SunGod87]

2Cx = \frac {2Cx^2}{x}

2Cx = 2Cx

is that possible?

Yes, that's fine.
