how do i transform this to linear
[tex]2xyy' = 4x^2 +3y^2[/tex]
using substitution
 
Physics news on Phys.org
This can be written as
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{4x^2+ 3y^2}{2xy}= 2\frac{x}{y}= \frac{3}{2}\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

Try the substitution u= y/x.
 
so if u=y/x would this be right? [tex]\frac{du}{dx}= \frac{-dy}{dx} \frac{1}{x^2}[/tex]

you third equal sign should be a + sign i believe
