## Example of Exact Equations Solve the Equation ![](https://i.imgur.com/D9rKbdA.png) Let: > [] ![](https://i.imgur.com/HskvmIb.png) Consider the First Order Partials ![](https://i.imgur.com/nFnU9vy.png) Thus the equation is exact, and so we know that there must exist some function $f(x,y) = c$ such that: ![](https://i.imgur.com/KOvXBro.png) So first partially integrate $M(x,y)$ in order to find the class of function corresponding to $f(x,y)$: ![](https://i.imgur.com/fK59mgE.png) Now Partially Differentiate $f(x,y)$ to get $N(x,y)$: ![](https://i.imgur.com/RjLIcD5.png) Now Equate the Terms: ![](https://i.imgur.com/wUHC2ee.png) State $f(x,y)$: ![](https://i.imgur.com/s7CZ1L2.png) This is merely an implicit solution, but ideally we would want an explicit solution: ![](https://i.imgur.com/ljpX3kJ.png)
