Math 237 P02 - Exact Differential Equations 3062023-1
This document discusses exact differential equations. It provides examples of using the test for exactness to determine if a given differential equation is exact. The steps outlined to solve an exact differential equation are: 1) test for exactness, 2) take partial derivatives to set up integrations, 3) integrate and solve for an arbitrary function, 4) substitute back to find the general solution. Examples are worked through, applying these steps to solve several exact differential equations.

5 SOLVING EXACT D.E. If the equation 𝑀(𝑥, 𝑦) 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑁(𝑥, 𝑦) 𝑑𝑦 = 0 is exact, there exists a solution 𝐹(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝐶 such that 𝑑𝐹(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝐶. STEPS IN SOLVING: 1.) Test for Exactness. 𝜕𝐹(𝑥,𝑦) 2.) Let = 𝑀 𝑥, 𝑦 eq.1 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝐹(𝑥,𝑦) Let = 𝑁 𝑥, 𝑦 eq. 2 𝜕𝑦 3.) Integrate the simpler equation with respect to 𝒙 (or 𝒚) to obtain 𝐹 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝐺 𝑥, 𝑦 + 𝑇 𝑦 𝑜𝑟 𝐹 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝐺 𝑥, 𝑦 + 𝑇(𝑥) eq. A 4.) Differentiate eq.
