Answer

$C=\sin xy+\cos x$

Work Step by Step

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