The solution of the equation $\left(x-4 y^3\right) \frac{d y}{d x}-y=0,(y>0)$ is
  1. $x=y^3+c y$
  2. $x+2 y^3=c y$
  3. $y=x^3+c x$
  4. $y+2 x^3=c x$

Solution

Here, the differential equation $ \begin{aligned} & \left(x-4 y^3\right) \frac{d y}{d x}-y=0,(y>0) \\ & \Rightarrow \quad\left(x-4 y^3\right) \frac{d y}{d x}=y \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d x}{d y}=\frac{x-4 y^3}{y} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d x}{d y}=\frac{x}{y}-4 y^2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d x}{d y}-\frac{x}{y}=-4 y^2 \\ & \therefore \quad P=-\frac{1}{y} \cdot Q=-4 y^2 \end{aligned} $ Integrating factor, $ \text { I.F. }=e^{\int P d y}=e^{\int-\frac{1}{y} d y}=e^{-\log y}=e^{\log y-1}=\frac{1}{y} $ Now, the solution is given by $ \begin{aligned} & x \cdot(\text { I.F. })=\int(\text { I.F. }) \cdot Q d y+C \\ & \frac{x}{y}=\int \frac{1}{y} \times\left(-4 y^2\right) d y+C \\ & \frac{x}{y}=\int-4 y d y+C \\ & \frac{x}{y}=-4 \frac{y^2}{2}+C \end{aligned} $ $ \begin{aligned} & x=-2 y^3+C y \\ & x+2 y^3=C y \end{aligned} $ $\therefore \quad$ This is the required solution
