Answer

$C=x^2+\tan (xy)$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $$x\sec^2(xy)dy=-[y\sec^2(xy)+2x]dx$$ $$x\sec^2(xy)dy+[y\sec^2(xy)+2x]dx=0$$ We have that: $$M(x,y)=y\sec^2(xy)+2x \wedge N(x,y)=x\sec^2(xy)$$ then $$M'(x,y)=\sec^2(xy)+2xy\sec^2(x)\tan(xy)$$ $$N'(x,y)=\sec^2(xy)+2xy\sec^2(x)\tan(xy)$$ $$M'(x,y)=N'(x,y)$$ So this equation exists. We have: There exists a potential function $\phi$ satisfies: $$\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}=M \wedge \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}=N$$ $$\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}=y\sec^2(xy)+2x \wedge \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}=x\sec^2(xy)$$ Integrating $\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}=y\sec^2(xy)+2x$ we get $$\phi=x^2+\tan (xy)+f(y)$$ Since $\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}=x\sec^2(xy)+f'(y)$ We obtain: $$f'(y)=0\rightarrow f(y)=C$$ $C$ is constant of integration The potential solution is: $$\phi=x^2+\tan (xy)$$ $$C=x^2+\tan (xy)$$ Hence general solution is $C=x^2+\tan (xy)$
