I've been working on this problem for the past 3 hours and have 7 pages of work, but still no solution.  Anyone good with diff eq?

(x^2)(dy/dx) = y^2 + xy

Let me think...   The last time I did one of those was ...   oh yeah - a very long time ago.  You are a couple of decades too late for my help.  But it is a fun class.

I cut bait on calculus right before Diff Eq.

Heh...if I ever took/had to take Calc, I'd try to help. But alas, the only math I have to take in college is statistics. And psychology statistics at that.

Good luck.

Meh... I just neatly went through every method my professor has taught and showed none of them works.  Hopefully that is good enough.

dy = (2x - y) / (2y + x)

I think it's something like that.

21 minutes to find a cartoon online explaining differential equations.

I really wonder if Choop had that one waiting to post, or if he had to search for it.

Umm...what?

It looks like you just did some algebra and pseudo-calculus.

To solve it it needs to go in the from Mdx + Ndy = 0

So it would be:

(y^2 + xy) dx - (x^2) dy = 0

I'm trying to find y(x)  the y in the original function will be an equation, not a number.

That solution is not exact, and needs to be for me to use one of the techniques I've been taught so far.  There must be some integrating factor that makes it exact, however the techniques to find integrating factors I've been taught so far all fail.

I'm pretty sure it involves some substitution and special integrating factor, but I can't figure out what they are.

Oh, forget what I was talking about then. I thought you were trying to accomplish something completely different.

This forum is exactly what I think of when I desire assistance with my calculus homework.

I suck at math and for some idiotic reason, decided to take an online math class this semester.

I dunno.  I always figured DiffEq was like Calc 1.5.  I would definitely call it calculus, though.  But hey - semantics.
