Show that the differential equation `(xsqrt(x^(2)+y^(2)-y^(2)))dx+xydy=0` is homogenous and solve it.

Answer» The given differential equation may be written as
`(dy)/(dx)=(y^(2)-xsqrt(x^(2)+y^(2))/(xy))`…………….(i)
On dividing the Nr and Dr of RHS of (i) by `x^(2)`, we get
`(dy)/(dx)={((y/x)^(2)-sqrt(1-(y/x)^(2)))/((y/x))}=f(y/x)`.
So, the given differential equation is homogeneous.
Putting, `y=vx` and `(dy)/(dx)=v+x(dv)/(dx)` in (i), we get
`v+x(dv)/(dx)=(v^(2)x^(2)-xsqrt(x^(2)+v^(2)x^(2))/(vx^(2)))`
`rArr x(dv)/(dx)=((v^(2)-sqrt(1+v^(2)))/(v)-v)`
`rArr x(dv)/(dx)=-sqrt(1+v^(2))/(v)`
`rArr intv/sqrt(1+v^(2))dy=-int(dx)/x`
`rArr sqrt(1+v^(2))=-log|x|+C`
`rArr sqrt(x^(2)+y^(2))+xlog|x|=Cx`, which is the required solution.
