Question:

Show that the following differential equation is homogeneous and then find its solution

{eq}x (x + y) \frac {dy}{dx} = y (x - y) {/eq}

Homogeneous Differential Equation :

Here, first of all, we will verify that the given differential equation is a homogeneous differential equation, for that we will perform a test. Then after the given differential equation will be converted into a variable -separable differential equation by the help of substitution.

$$\int_{}^{} \; x^{n} \; dx = \frac {x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C $$

$$\int_{}^{} \; \frac {dx}{x} = \ln(|x|) + C $$

$$\text {Here} \; C \; \text {is the constant of integration.} $$
