Definition: Homogeneous Differential Equations

A differential equation of the form \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{f_{1}(x,y)}{f_{2}(x,y)},\] where f1(x, y) ) and f2(x, y)  are homogeneous functions of x and y of the same degree, is called a homogeneous differential equation.

Key Points: Homogeneous Differential Equations

(i) Express the homogeneous differential equation in the form
dy/dx = f(x, y) / g(x, y)

(ii) Put y = vx and
dy/dx = v + x dv/dx

Substitute in the equation and cancel out x from the R.H.S.
The equation reduces to the form
v + x dv/dx = F(v)

(iii) Take v on R.H.S. and separate the variables v and x

(iv) Integrate both sides to obtain the solution in terms of v and x

(v) To obtain the required solution in terms of x and y, substitute v = y/x
