1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the following differential equation:
(xy)dydx+x+y=0(x-y)\frac{dy}{dx} + x + y = 0

2. Solution Steps

First, we rewrite the equation:
(xy)dydx=xy(x-y)\frac{dy}{dx} = -x - y
dydx=xyxy=(x+y)xy=x+yyx\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-x-y}{x-y} = \frac{-(x+y)}{x-y} = \frac{x+y}{y-x}
Let y=vxy = vx, then dydx=v+xdvdx\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x\frac{dv}{dx}.
Substituting into the equation, we have:
v+xdvdx=x+vxvxx=x(1+v)x(v1)=1+vv1v + x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{x+vx}{vx-x} = \frac{x(1+v)}{x(v-1)} = \frac{1+v}{v-1}
xdvdx=1+vv1v=1+vv(v1)v1=1+vv2+vv1=v2+2v+1v1x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1+v}{v-1} - v = \frac{1+v - v(v-1)}{v-1} = \frac{1+v-v^2+v}{v-1} = \frac{-v^2+2v+1}{v-1}
v1v2+2v+1dv=dxx\frac{v-1}{-v^2+2v+1} dv = \frac{dx}{x}
Integrate both sides. Let u=v2+2v+1u = -v^2+2v+1, then du=(2v+2)dv=2(v1)dvdu = (-2v+2)dv = -2(v-1)dv.
So, (v1)dv=12du(v-1)dv = -\frac{1}{2}du.
v1v2+2v+1dv=12duu=12duu=12lnu+C=12lnv2+2v+1+C\int \frac{v-1}{-v^2+2v+1} dv = \int \frac{-\frac{1}{2}du}{u} = -\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{du}{u} = -\frac{1}{2} \ln|u| + C = -\frac{1}{2} \ln|-v^2+2v+1| + C
dxx=lnx+C\int \frac{dx}{x} = \ln|x| + C
Therefore, we have
12lnv2+2v+1=lnx+C-\frac{1}{2} \ln|-v^2+2v+1| = \ln|x| + C
Multiply both sides by -2:
lnv2+2v+1=2lnx+C\ln|-v^2+2v+1| = -2\ln|x| + C' where C=2CC' = -2C
lnv2+2v+1=lnx2+C\ln|-v^2+2v+1| = \ln|x^{-2}| + C'
v2+2v+1=elnx2+C=elnx2eC=x2eC|-v^2+2v+1| = e^{\ln|x^{-2}|+C'} = e^{\ln|x^{-2}|} e^{C'} = |x^{-2}| e^{C'}
v2+2v+1=Cx2-v^2+2v+1 = Cx^{-2}
(yx)2+2(yx)+1=Cx2-(\frac{y}{x})^2 + 2(\frac{y}{x}) + 1 = Cx^{-2}
y2x2+2yx+1=Cx2-\frac{y^2}{x^2} + \frac{2y}{x} + 1 = \frac{C}{x^2}
Multiply by x2x^2:
y2+2xy+x2=C-y^2 + 2xy + x^2 = C
x2+2xyy2=Cx^2 + 2xy - y^2 = C

3. Final Answer

x2+2xyy2=Cx^2 + 2xy - y^2 = C
