There exists a function f for which
∂f/∂x=M(x,y) We can find f  by integrating M(x,y) with respect to x while holding y  constant:
f(x,y)=∫M(x,y)dx+g(y) 
f(x,y)=∫xy4dx+g(y)=21x2y4+g(y)Taking the partial derivative of the last expression with respect to y and setting the result equal to N(x,y) gives
2x2y3+g′(y)=2x2y3+3y5−20y3 
g′(y)=3y5−20y3 Integrate with respect to y 
g(y)=∫(3y5−20y3)dy=21y6−5y4−C Hence
f(x,y)=21x2y4+21y6−5y4−C The solution of the equation in implicit form is
21x2y4+21y6−5y4=C
