Question
Solve the following differential equation:
$(\text{x}+2\text{y})\text{dx}-(2\text{x}-\text{y})\text{dy}=0$

Answer

$(\text{x}+2\text{y})\text{dx}-(2\text{x}-\text{y})\text{dy}=0$

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{x}+2\text{y}}{2\text{x}-\text{y}}$

This is a homogeneous differential equation.

Putting y = vx and $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{v + x}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}$, we get

$\text{v + x}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{x}+2\text{vx}}{2\text{x}-\text{vx}}$

 

$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1+2\text{v}}{2-\text{v}}-\text{v}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1+\text{v}^2}{2-\text{v}}$

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{2-\text{v}}{1+\text{v}^2}\text{dv}=\frac{1}{\text{x}}\text{dx}$

Integrating both sides, we get

$\int\frac{2-\text{v}}{1+\text{v}^2}\text{dv}=\int\frac{1}{\text{x}}\text{dx}\ \dots(1)$

$\Rightarrow\ \int\frac{2}{1+\text{v}^2}\text{dv}-\int\frac{\text{v}}{1+\text{v}^2}\text{dv}=\int\frac{1}{\text{x}}\text{dx}$

$\Rightarrow\ \int\frac{2}{1+\text{v}^2}\text{dv}-\frac{1}2\int\frac{2\text{v}}{1+\text{v}^2}\text{dv}=\int\frac{1}{\text{x}}\text{dx}$

$\Rightarrow\ 2\tan^{-1}\text{v}-\frac{1}2\log|1+\text{v}^2|=\log|\text{x}|+\log\text{C}$

$\Rightarrow\ 2\tan^{-1}\text{v}=\log|\text{x}|+\log\text{C}+\log\Big|(1+\text{v}^2)^{\frac{1}2}\Big|$

$\Rightarrow\ 2\tan^{-1}\text{v}=\log\Big|\text{Cx}\sqrt{1+\text{v}^2}\Big|$

$\Rightarrow\ \Big|\text{Cx}\sqrt{1+\text{v}^2}\Big|=\text{e}^{2\tan^{-1}\text{v}}$

Putting $\text{v}=\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}$, we get

$\Rightarrow\ \Bigg|\text{Cx}\sqrt{1+\Big(\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}\Big)^2}\Bigg|=\text{e}^{2\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}\big)}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{C}\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2}=\text{e}^{2\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}\big)}$

Hence, $\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2}=\text{Ke}^{2\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}\big)}$ is the required solution.
