Answer

$C=2e^{2x}+xy(x-y)+\frac{y^3}{3}$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $$(4e^{2x}+2xy-y^2)dx+(x-y)^2dy=0 (1)$$ Here, $M(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}(4e^{2x}+2xy-y^2)=2(x-y)$ $N(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}(x-y)^2=2(x-y)$ $M_y=2(x-y)\;\;\;\;,\;\;\;\;N_x=2(x-y)$ $M_y=N_x$ $\Rightarrow$ (1) is exact differential equation Therefore there exists a potential function $\phi$ such that $\frac{\partial\phi}{\partial x}=4e^{2x}+2xy-y^2$ ___(2) Integrating (2) with respect to $x$ holding $y$ fixed $\phi =2e^{2x}+xy(x-y)+f(y)$ ___(3) Where $f(y)$ is arbitrary function of $y$ Hence we get: $\frac{\partial\phi}{\partial y}=x^2-2xy+f'(y)=(x-y)^2 \rightarrow f'(y)=y^2$ (4) Differentiate (4) with respect to $y$: $f(y)=\frac{y^3}{3}$ $C_1$ is constant The solution is: $\phi(x,y)=2e^{2x}+xy(x-y)+\frac{y^3}{3}+C$ and $\phi(x,y)=0$ so: $C=2e^{2x}+xy(x-y)+\frac{y^3}{3}$
