#x*y = a(y+√(y²-x²))# then show that #x³*dy/dx=y²(y+√(y²-x²))# ? Calculus Applications of Definite Integrals Solving Separable Differential Equations 1 Answer Cesareo R. Oct 1, 2016 #dy/dx = (y^2)/(x^3)(y+sqrt(y^2-y^2))# Explanation: Making #f(x,y) = (xy)/(y+sqrt(y^2-x^2))-a=0# we have #df = f_x dx + f_y dy = 0# with #f_x = y^2/(-x^2 + y (y + sqrt[-x^2 + y^2]))# #f_y = (x (y - sqrt[-x^2 + y^2]))/(x^2 - y (y + sqrt[-x^2 + y^2]))# so #dy/dx = -(f_x)/(f_y) = (y^2)/(x^3)(y+sqrt(y^2-y^2))# Answer link Related questions How do you solve separable differential equations?
