Homework Statement



I have to find the differential of (y-xy')^2=x^2+y^2.Now,I have solved hom. equations but this is different because there are two y'. I know how to prove that it is a hom. equation of degree zero, so we can skip that, but how to solve this? Some hints would be highly appreciated.

What happens if you take the square root of both sides of the equation?
 
(y-xy')=sqrt(x^2+y^2)
 
Do you know how to solve homogeneous equations of the form y'= f(x,y)?

Can you write (y-xy')=sqrt(x^2+y^2) as y'=f(x,y)?
