Let us solve the differential equation 3x2−2y2+(1−4xy)y′=0 which is equivalent to the equation (3x2−2y2)dx+(1−4xy)dy=0. Since ∂y∂(3x2−2y2)=−4y=∂x∂(1−4xy), we conclude that this equation is exact, and hence Ux=3x2−2y2,Uy=1−4xy for some function U=U(x,y). It follows that U=x3−2y2x+C(y), and hence ∂y∂U=−4yx+C′(y). Therefore, −4yx+C′(y)=1−4xy, and hence C(y)=y+C.
We conclude that the general solution of the differential equation is
x3−2y2x+y=C.
