Answer

$y=\sqrt \frac{10-x^3}{x^2}$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $$(3x^2+2xy^2)dx+(2x^2y)dy=0$$ We have that: $$M(x,y)=3x^2+2xy^2 \wedge N(x,y)=2x^2y$$ then $$M'(x,y)=4xy =N'(x,y)$$ So this equation is exist. Let's set: $$\phi(x,y)=0$$ There exists a potential function $\phi$ satisfies: $$\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}=M \wedge \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}=N$$ $$\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}=3x^2+2xy^2 \wedge \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}=2x^2y$$ Integrating $\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}=3x^2+2xy^2 $ we get $$\phi=x^3+x^2y^2+f(y)$$ Since $\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}=2x^2y+f'(y)$ We obtain: $$f'(y)=0 \rightarrow f(y)=C$$ $C$ is constant of integration The potential solution is: $$\phi=x^3+x^2y^2$$ Hence general solution is $C=x^3+x^2y^2$ We are given $y(1)=3$ $$C=1+3^2=10$$ The final solution is: $$y=\sqrt \frac{10-x^3}{x^2}$$
