$\left(4xy+1\right)dx+\left(2x^2+cos\left(y\right)\right)dy=0$

Step-by-step Solution

1

The differential equation $\left(4xy+1\right)dx+\left(2x^2+\cos\left(y\right)\right)dy=0$ is exact, since it is written in the standard form $M(x,y)dx+N(x,y)dy=0$, where $M(x,y)$ and $N(x,y)$ are the partial derivatives of a two-variable function $f(x,y)$ and they satisfy the test for exactness: $\displaystyle\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}$. In other words, their second partial derivatives are equal. The general solution of the differential equation is of the form $f(x,y)=C$

$\left(4xy+1\right)dx+\left(2x^2+\cos\left(y\right)\right)dy=0$
2

Using the test for exactness, we check that the differential equation is exact

$4x=4x$
3

Integrate $M(x,y)$ with respect to $x$ to get

$2yx^2+x+g(y)$
4

Now take the partial derivative of $2yx^2+x$ with respect to $y$ to get

$2x^2+g'(y)$
5

Set $2x^2+\cos\left(y\right)$ and $2x^2+g'(y)$ equal to each other and isolate $g'(y)$

$g'(y)=\cos\left(y\right)$
6

Find $g(y)$ integrating both sides

$g(y)=\sin\left(y\right)$
7

We have found our $f(x,y)$ and it equals

$f(x,y)=2yx^2+x+\sin\left(y\right)$
8

Then, the solution to the differential equation is

$2yx^2+x+\sin\left(y\right)=C_0$
9

Group the terms of the equation

$2yx^2+\sin\left(y\right)=C_0-x$

Final answer to the exercise

$2yx^2+\sin\left(y\right)=C_0-x$
