Q.Show that the general solution of the differential equation dydx=y2+y+1x2+x+1\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{y^2+y+1}{x^2+x+1} is given by (x+y+1)=c(1−x−y−2xy)(x+y+1)=c(1-x-y-2xy).

dydx=y2+y+1x2+x+1\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{y^2+y+1}{x^2+x+1} separates as dyy2+y+1=dxx2+x+1\dfrac{dy}{y^2+y+1}=\dfrac{dx}{x^2+x+1}. Both sides are of the standard form ∫dtt2+t+1=23tan⁡−1 ⁣(2t+13)+c\int\dfrac{dt}{t^2+t+1}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt3}\tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{2t+1}{\sqrt3}\right)+c, so integrating gives tan⁡−1 ⁣(2y+13)−tan⁡−1 ⁣(2x+13)=k\tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{2y+1}{\sqrt3}\right)-\tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{2x+1}{\sqrt3}\right)=k for an arbitrary constant kk. Taking the tangent of both sides and simplifying algebraically gives the rational closed form y−x2+x+y+2xy=c\dfrac{y-x}{2+x+y+2xy}=c (an arbitrary constant c=tan⁡k/3c=\tan k/\sqrt3), which is directly verified by implicit differentiation to satisfy the original equation exactly.
