Show that the differential equation representing one parameter family of curves (x2 – y2) = c(x2 + y2)2 is (x3 – 3xy2)dx = (y3 – 3x2y)dy.
Given, A differential equation (x3 – 3xy2)dx = (y3 – 3x2y)dy
To Prove: Prove that (x2 – y2) = c(x2 + y2)2
Explanation: We have (x3 – 3xy2)dx = (y3 – 3x2y)dy
Now, Find dy/dx from the given equation
![]()
Let ![]()
Put x = λx and y = λy in F(x, y)
![]()
Taking λ3 as a common from numerator and denominator then,
F(x, y) = λ0F(x, y)
Since, F(x, y) is a homogenous function of degree zero.
Let us Assume , y = vx - - - (ii)
Differentiate equation (i) w.r.t x
- - - (iii)
Now, Comparing the equation (i) and (iii), we get
![]()
Taking x3 as common then, we get
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()

Now, Integrating both sides


Let I =
, then
I = log|x| + C
I = ![]()

Let 1 - v4 = t
Differentiating , - 4v3 dv = dt
And, ![]()

Now, put u = v2
On differentiating w.r.t v
![]()
![]()


We know, ![]()

Putting the values of t







Now, Putting v = y/x






![]()
Hence, Proved
