Dear noteiler,

Can you please tell me how you obtained the equation shown below,

$C_{1}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{y}{p^{2}}$

by integrating both sides of
$\frac{1}{p^2}=\frac{dy}{p^2} - \frac{2dpy}{p^3}$

Dear noteiler,

You can't obtain, $C_{1}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{y}{p^{2}}$ by integrating both sides of $\frac{dp}{p^2}=\frac{dy}{p^2}-\frac{2y}{p^3}$. This is because,

$\frac{dp}{p^2}=\frac{dy}{p^2}-\frac{2y}{p^3}dp$

$\int{\frac{dp}{p^2}}=\color{red}{\int{\frac{dy}{p^ 2}}}-\color{red}{\int{\frac{2y}{p^3}dp}}$.

The highlighted integrations could not be evaluated beacause they contain two variables whose relation we don't know.

$(p+2y)\frac{dp}{dy}=p$

Dividing by y, $\left(\frac{p}{y}+2\right)\frac{dp}{dy}=\frac{p}{y }$

Now use the substitution, $u=\frac{p}{y}$

Hope you could countinue from here.

it doesn't work that way, i don't integrate two seperate functions, but i integrate the whole 2-argument function. i mean,
$d(\frac{y}{p^2})=\frac{dy}{p^2}-\frac{2ydp}{p^3}$
left side is the complete differential or whatever it is called in English, so we can integrate it. of course, there is a propability that i am wrong or making silly mistake, but i use this very often and so far i has been correct

You're OK with what you've done except at the very end. THe solution I got was

$x = 2 c_1 p - \ln p + c_2$
$y = c_1p^2 - p$.

thanks for confirming, i've already started to worry
but isn't that wright
$\ln p + c_2 = \ln p + \ln c_2 = \ln c_2p$

You're right. Point well taken.

Dear noteiler,

Thank you very much for this post. I learnt something new because of your thread. Although your answer is almost correct you are missing out a important modulus sign.

$x=2c_{1}p-lnc_{2}{\color{red}\mid{p}\mid}$

$y=c_{1}p^{2}-p$
