Problem 30
In each of Problems 25 through 31, find an integrating factor and solve the given equation.
[4(x3 /y 2 ) + (3/y)] + [3(x/y 2 ) + 4y]y 0 = 0

To solve it, we seek an integrating factor µ = µ(x, y) such that when both sides are multiplied by
it, the ODE becomes exact.

Exponentiate both sides.
µ = (y 2 )eC
Taking eC to be 1, an integrating factor is
µ = y2.
Multiply both sides of the original ODE by y 2 .
(4x3 + 3y) + (3x + 4y 3 )y 0 = 0
Because it’s exact, there exists a potential function ψ = ψ(x, y) that satisfies
∂ψ
= 4x3 + 3y
∂x
∂ψ
= 3x + 4y 3 .

(2)
Integrate both sides of equation (1) partially with respect to x to get ψ.
ψ(x, y) = x4 + 3xy + f (y)
Here f (y) is an arbitrary function of y. Differentiate both sides with respect to y.
ψy (x, y) = 3x + f 0 (y)
Comparing this to equation (2), we see that
f 0 (y) = 4y 3
→
f (y) = y 4 .
As a result, a potential function is
ψ(x, y) = x4 + 3xy + y 4 .
Notice that by substituting equations (1) and (2), the ODE can be written as
∂ψ ∂ψ dy

= 0.

Recall that the differential of ψ(x, y) is defined as
dψ =

Dividing both sides by dx, we obtain the fundamental relationship between the total derivative of
ψ and its partial derivatives.

With it, equation (3) becomes

Integrate both sides with respect to x.
ψ(x, y) = C1
Therefore,
x4 + 3xy + y 4 = C1 .

This figure illustrates several solutions of the family. In red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and
purple are C1 = −1, C1 = 0, C1 = 1, C1 = 4, C1 = 8, and C1 = 20, respectively.
