∂x∂Q=2xy+1=∂y∂PThe system of two differential equations that define the function u(x,y) is
⎩⎨⎧∂x∂u=xy2+y−x∂y∂u=x2y+x Integrate the first equation over the variable x
u=∫(xy2+y−x)dx+φ(y)
=2x2y2+xy−2x2+φ(y) Differentiate with respect to y
∂y∂u=x2y+x+φ′(y)=x2y+x
φ′(y)=0
φ(y)=−2C Then
u=2x2y2+xy−2x2−2C
The general solution of the exact differential equation is given by
x2y2+2xy−x2=C
