Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The differential equation is x3+3yxy=0 .

Explanation:

The given differential equation can be written as,

  xdydx3y=x3dydx3xy=x3xdydx3xy=x2

The above equation is a linear first order differential equation and its solution is calculated as,

  ye3 1 x dx= x 2 e 3 x dx dxye3lnx= x 2 e 3lnxdxyelnx 3= x 2 e ln x 3 dxyx3= x 2 x 3dx

Simplify the above equation.

  yx3= 1 xdxyx3=C+lnxy=x3(C+lnx)

Conclusion:

Thus, the solution of the differential equation x3+3yxy=0 is y=x3(C+lnx) .
