Transformation of a differential equation into variables u &x
Suppose we have M d x + N d y = 0 We want to transform it into variable u&x such that x = u y
My attempt is below!
d y d x = g ( 1 / u )
d y d x = u x d u d x u 2
After getting the new separable differential equation use it to solve
( x 2 3 y 2 ) d x + 2 x y d y = 0

So given x = u y , then d x = y d u + u d y , by the product rule. Rearranging:
d y = u 1 d x u 1 y d u
Tip: y terms are undesirable, so we substitute: y u 1 x
d y = u 1 d x u 2 x d u
Then using this to substitute into N d x + M d y = 0 we find...
