View full question & answer→The given differential equation can be written as:
$\frac{d x}{d y}=\frac{2 x(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}-y}{2 y(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}} \ldots(1)$
Let,
$\begin{aligned} F (x, y) & =\frac{2 x(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}-y}{2 y(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}} \\ \therefore \quad F(\lambda x, \lambda y) & =\frac{\left(2 x(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}-y\right)}{\left(2 y(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}\right)} \\ & =\lambda^0 F(x, y)\end{aligned}$
Thus, $F (x, y)$ is a homogeneous function of degree zero. Therefore, the given differential equation is a homogeneous differential equation.
To solve it, we make the substitution
$x=v y \ldots(2)$
Differentiating equation (2) with respect to $y$, we get,
$\frac{d x}{d y}=v+y \frac{d v}{d y}$
Substituting the value of $x$ and $\frac{d x}{d y}$ in equation (1),
we get,
$\begin{aligned} v+y \frac{d v}{d y} & =\frac{2 v e^v-1}{2 e^v} \\ \therefore \quad y \frac{d v}{d y} & =\frac{2 v e^v-1}{2 e^v}-v\end{aligned}$
$\begin{array}{ll}\therefore & y \frac{d v}{d y}=-\frac{1}{2 e^v} \\ \therefore & 2 e^v d v=-\frac{d y}{y}\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{rlrl} \therefore \int 2 e^v d v =-\int \frac{d y}{y} \\ \therefore 2 e^v =-\log |y|+c\end{array}$
and replacing $v$ by $\frac{x}{y}$, we get,
$2(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}+\log |y|+c \ldots(3)$
Substituting $x=0$ and $y=1$ in equation (3), we get
$2 e^0+\log |1|=c \Rightarrow c=2$
Substituting the value of $c$ in equation (3), we get
$2(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}+\log |y|=2$
which is the particular solution of the given differential equation.
$\frac{d x}{d y}=\frac{2 x(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}-y}{2 y(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}} \ldots(1)$
Let,
$\begin{aligned} F (x, y) & =\frac{2 x(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}-y}{2 y(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}} \\ \therefore \quad F(\lambda x, \lambda y) & =\frac{\left(2 x(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}-y\right)}{\left(2 y(e)^{\frac{x}{y}}\right)} \\ & =\lambda^0 F(x, y)\end{aligned}$
