Solve y′ = xy/(x² + y²), y(0) = 1.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: ln y − x²/(2y²) = 0, on the positive solution branch, x ∈ ℝ.
  1. For y > 0 treat x² as u(y): du/dy = 2u/y + 2y.
  2. Using IF 1/y² gives (u/y²)′ = 2/y, so x²/y² = 2ln y + C.
  3. At (0, 1), C = 0.
  4. Thus ln y − x²/(2y²) = 0, y ≥ 1. This defines a smooth even solution for every real x; its derivative at 0 is 0.
