f 0 (y) = 2y → f (y) = y 2 .
ψ(x, y) = ex sin y + y 2 .
Notice that by substituting equations (1) and (2), the ODE can be written as
∂ψ ∂ψ dy
+ = 0. (3)
∂x ∂y dx
∂ψ ∂ψ
dψ = dx + dy.
∂x ∂y
Dividing both sides by dx, we obtain the fundamental relationship between the total derivative of
ψ and its partial derivatives.
dψ ∂ψ ∂ψ dy
= +
dx ∂x ∂y dx
With it, equation (3) becomes
dψ
= 0.
dx
Integrate both sides with respect to x.
ψ(x, y) = C1
Therefore,
ex sin y + y 2 = C1 .

This figure illustrates several solutions of the family. In red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and
purple are C1 = −10, C1 = −5, C1 = −1, C1 = 1, C1 = 5, and C1 = 10, respectively.
