A differential expression 𝑀(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑥 + 𝑁(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑦 is an exact differential in a region 𝑅 of the
𝑥𝑦 −plane if it corresponds to the differential of some function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) defined in 𝑅. A first order
differential equation of the form
is said to be exact differential equation if the expression on the left is an exact differential.

Recall: If 𝑧 = 𝐹(𝑥, 𝑦), then its total derivative is 𝑑𝑧 = 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑑𝑦. For example, 𝑥 2 𝑦 3 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑥 3 𝑦 2 𝑑𝑦 = 0

The solution of (1) is to find the function 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒄, which can be obtained by evaluating either of the
following:
(2.4.1) 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒙(𝑴 , 𝒚)𝒅𝒙 + 𝒈(𝒚), holding 𝑦 constant and solving the constant function 𝑔(𝑦), or
(2.4.2) 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒙(𝑵 , 𝒚)𝒅𝒚 + 𝒈(𝒙), holding 𝑥 constant and solving the constant function 𝑔(𝑥).
Solution:
𝝏𝑴 𝝏
Given 𝑴(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝟐𝒙𝒚 ⇒ = (𝟐𝒙𝒚) = 𝟐𝒙
𝝏𝒚 𝝏𝒚
𝝏𝑵 𝝏
and 𝑵(𝒙. 𝒚) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏 ⇒ = (𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏) = 𝟐𝒙
𝝏𝒙 𝝏𝒙
𝝏𝑴 𝝏𝑵
Since = , the given DE is Exact DE.
𝝏𝒚 𝝏𝒙
Using (2.4.1), 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒙(𝑴 , 𝒚)𝒅𝒙 + 𝒈(𝒚), the solution of the given DE is
𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒙𝒅𝒚𝒙𝟐 + 𝒈(𝒚)
Holding 𝒚 constant,
𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒚 𝒙𝒅𝒙𝟐 + 𝒈(𝒚)
⇒ 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒚(𝒙𝟐 ) + 𝒈(𝒚)
⇒ 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒙𝟐 𝒚 + 𝒈(𝒚) (*)
Solving for 𝒈(𝒚), we have
𝝏𝑭 𝝏
= [𝒙𝟐 𝒚 + 𝒈(𝒚)]
𝝏𝒚 𝝏𝒚
𝝏𝑭
⇒ = 𝒙𝟐 + 𝒈′(𝒚),
𝝏𝒚
𝝏𝑭
Since = 𝑵(𝒙, 𝒚), then
𝝏𝒚
𝒙𝟐 + 𝒈′ (𝒚) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏
Or 𝒈′ (𝒚) = −𝟏
Integrating both sides, we have
𝒈 ′ (𝒚)𝒅𝒚 = −𝟏𝒅𝒚
⇒ 𝒈(𝒚) = −𝒚
Substituting 𝒈(𝒚) to (*),
𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒙𝟐 𝒚 − 𝒚
Thus, 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝑪 is
𝒙𝟐 𝒚 − 𝒚 = 𝑪 (Final Answer)
Alternatively, using (2.4.2), 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒙(𝑵 , 𝒚)𝒅𝒚 + 𝒈(𝒙), the solution of the given DE
is
𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝟐𝒙(− 𝟏)𝒅𝒚 + 𝒈(𝒙)
Holding 𝒙 constant,
𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = (𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏) 𝒚𝒅 + 𝒈(𝒙)
⇒ 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = (𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏)𝒚 + 𝒈(𝒙)
⇒ 𝑭(𝒙, 𝒚) = 𝒙𝟐 𝒚 − 𝒚 + 𝒈(𝒙) (**)
Solving for 𝒈(𝒙), taking the partial derivative of 𝑭 with respect to 𝒙,
𝝏𝑭 𝝏
= (𝒙𝟐 𝒚 − 𝒚 + 𝒈(𝒙))
𝝏𝒙 𝝏𝒙
𝝏𝑭
⇒ = 𝟐𝒙𝒚 + 𝒈’(𝒙)
𝝏𝒙
𝝏𝑭
Since = 𝑴(𝒙, 𝒚), then
𝝏𝒙
𝝏𝑭
⇒ = 𝟐𝒙𝒆𝟐𝒚 − 𝒙𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒙𝒚 + 𝒈′(𝒚)
𝝏𝒚
𝝏𝑭
But = 𝑵(𝒙, 𝒚), so
