i have this differential equation of the first order
[x^2+y^2]+[2xy+y^2+(x^3/3)]dy/dx=0
i tried to solve it by substitution putting x^2+y^2=v ,but it doesn't work also it is not exact or homogeneus to solve it by these methods. I still believe it can be solved using substitution but i can't reach to the correct one
so please help me solving this diff. equation

You might try u = y/x ==> y = ux, so y' = u + u'x.

I can't guarantee it will work, but it's worth a try if you can get the DE to separate.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
