Solve x²y dx − (x³ + y³)dy = 0.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: ln|y| − x³/(3y³) = C for y ≠ 0; y = 0 is an additional integral curve.
  1. Treat x as dependent on y ≠ 0 and put u = x³, so u′ = 3x²dx/dy.
  2. The equation gives u′ − 3u/y = 3y². IF = y^(−3).
  3. Integrate (u/y³)′ = 3/y to obtain x³/y³ = 3ln|y| + C₁.
  4. Thus ln|y| − x³/(3y³) = C; also retain y = 0 from the original differential form. For y(x), restrict to regular implicit branches.
