Answer

The solution is y=C-3x/x2-1.

1Step 1: Evaluate whether the equation is exact

Here(2xy+3)dx+(x2-1)dy=0

 

The condition for exact isMy=Nx .

 

M(x,y)=2xy+3N(x,y)=x2-1My=2x=2x=Nx

 This equation is exact.

2Step 2: Find the value of F(x, y)

Here

 M(x,y)=2xy+3F(x,y)=M(x,y)dx+g(y)=(2xy+3)dx+g(y)=x2y+3x+g(y)


3Step 3: Determine the value of g(y)

Fy(x,y)=N(x,y)x2+g'(y)=x2-1g'(y)=-1g(y)=-y

 NowF(x,y)=x2y+3x-y

x2y+3x-y=C(x2-1)y+3x=C(x2-1)y=C-3xy=(C-3x)/(x2-1) 

 

 

Therefore, the solution isy=(C-3x)/(x2-1) y=(C-3x)/(x2-1)
