$$(2xy + 3y^2)dx + (x^2 + 6xy - 2y)dy = 0$$
$$y(1) = -1/2$$



How do you solve this? I have just started learning Differential equations and I have some trouble.



Is this equivalent with this?




$$2y + (6x - 2) = 0$$
$$y(1) = -1/2$$

    Notice that $(2xy+3y^2)dx+(x^2+6xy-2y)dy$ is the divergent of $F(x,y)=x^2y+3xy^2-y^2+c$, c is a constant.

You can rewrite your equation as
$$
df = fracpartial fpartial x dx + fracpartial fpartial y dy = 0,
$$
where $df$ is the total differential of a function $fleft(x,yright)$ that you should determine. Then $df = 0$ implies $fleft(x,yright)$ is a constant. Determine this constant with the condition on $yleft(1right)$.
