Solve the differential equation x² (y')² + x y y' - 6 y² = 0, where y' = dy/dx. Which of the following are solutions?

  1. y = C x²
  2. x² y = C
  3. (1/2) ln y = C + ln x
  4. x³ y = C

Correct answer: y = C x²

Solution

Factoring the quadratic in y' gives y' = 2y/x (-> y = C x²) and y' = -3y/x (-> x³ y = C); both families are solutions.
