Exact Differential Equations
• A first order ODE, 𝑀 𝑥, 𝑦 𝑥 ′ + 𝑁 𝑥, 𝑦 𝑦 ′ = 0 written as
𝑀 𝑥, 𝑦 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑁 𝑥, 𝑦 𝑑𝑦 = 0 is called an exact differential equation
if 𝑀𝑦 = 𝑁𝑥

𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑥
• To solve the exact D.E
i. integrate 𝑀 w.r.t 𝑥 and 𝑁 w.r.t 𝑦 ignoring arbitrary constant
ii. Merge the expressions got after integration writing down each
term exactly once, even if a particular term appears in both
results and
iii. finally introduce the arbitrary constant.

Step 2. Integrate 𝑀 w.r.t 𝑥 and 𝑁 w.r.t 𝑦
𝑦 2 − 2𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥𝑦 2 − 𝑥 2 2𝑥𝑦 + 1 𝑑𝑦 = 𝑥𝑦 2 + 𝑦
Exact Differential Equations
• Step 3 Merge the two expressions without repetition
• 𝑢 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑦 − 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 𝑥
Step 4 Write the final solution with arbitrary constant (c)
• The general solution is 𝑦 − 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 𝑥 = 𝑐
Step 5 Solve for c using the initial condition given to find the
particular solution
𝑦 2 = 0 → 0 − 22 + 02 2 = 𝑐 → 𝑐 = −4
• Therefore, particular solution is 𝑦 − 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 𝑥 = −4

• Example 1
• Radium decomposes in air at the rate proportional to the
present amount (x). If initially there are 20 grams, and
after 10 years, 0.6% of the original amount decomposed.
a) Set a model that will predict the amount of radium at any
time,
b) What is the half-life of the radium?
c) What is the amount remaining in 900 grams?
