Chapter 2, Problem 43(choose chapter or problem)
Differential equations are sometimes solved by having a clever idea. Here is a little exercise in cleverness: Although the differential equation
\(\left(x-\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}\right) d x+y d y=0\)
is not exact, show how the rearrangement
\(\frac{x d x+y d y}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}=d x\)
and the observation \(\frac{1}{2} d\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)=x d x+y d y\) can lead to a solution.
