Example 6: Solve<br />

(2xy − sec 2 x)dx + (x 2 + 2y)dy = 0<br />

Solution:<br />

Here M(x, y) = (2xy − sec 2 x) and N(x, y) = (x 2 + 2y) Testing for<br />

exactness:<br />

∂M ∂N<br />

= 2x =<br />

∂y ∂x<br />

Integrate M(x, y) with respect to x<br />

F (x, y) =<br />

∫<br />

(2xy − sec 2 x)dx + g(y) = x 2 y − tan(x) + g(y)<br />

Next, take the partial derivative w.r.t y of the integral equation substituting<br />

∂F<br />

∂y = N(x, y) = (x2 + 2y)<br />

x 2 + 2y = x 2 + g ′ (y)<br />

so g ′ (y) = 2y implying g(y) = y 2 substituting in the equation for<br />

F (x, y) we get<br />

F (x, y) = x 2 y − tan(x) + g(y) = x 2 y − tan(x) + y 2<br />

and the implicit solution of the DE is<br />

x 2 y − tan(x) + y 2 = C<br />
