Which one of the following equations is a homogeneous differential equation? |
$(4x+5)dy+ (3y-4)dx = 0$ $x^2y\, dx-(x^3+ y^3)\,dy = 0$ $(x^3+2y^2x)\,dy + 2xy\,dx = 0$ $x^2\, dy-y^2\,dx = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}dx$ |
$x^2y\, dx-(x^3+ y^3)\,dy = 0$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $x^2y\, dx-(x^3+ y^3)\,dy = 0$ Given Question: Which one of the following equations is a homogeneous differential equation? Option 1: (4x + 5) dy + (3y − 4) dx = 0 → Not homogeneous, since 4x + 5 and 3y − 4 are not homogeneous expressions of the same degree. Option 2: x²y dx − (x³ + y³) dy = 0 → All terms are of degree 3: x²y, x³, y³ → homogeneous of degree 3. This is a homogeneous differential equation. Option 3: (x³ + 2y²x) dy + 2xy dx = 0 → x³ and 2y²x are degree 3, 2xy is degree 2 → not all terms same degree → Not homogeneous Option 4: x² dy − y² dx = √(x² + y²) dx → RHS involves a square root; not polynomial → Not homogeneous |
