Answer

$\frac{y}{x}-\frac{y^3}{3x^3}=\ln |x|+C$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x^2}{x^2-y^2}+\frac{y}{x}$$ $$x\sec^2(xy)dy+[y\sec^2(xy)+2x]dx=0$$ Assume that $V=\frac{y}{x} \rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=V+x\frac{dV}{dx}$ The equation becomes: $$x\frac{dV}{dx}=\frac{1}{1-V^2}$$ $$(1-V^2)dV=\frac{1}{x}dx$$ Integrating both sides: $$V-\frac{V^3}{3}=\ln |x|+C$$ $$\frac{y}{x}-\frac{y^3}{3x^3}=\ln |x|+C$$ The general solution is $\frac{y}{x}-\frac{y^3}{3x^3}=\ln |x|+C$
