Answer:
The differential equation is not exact.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the differential equation as
[tex](3x^3+2y-2x-y^2)dx+(-1)dy=0[/tex]
with
[tex]M(x,y)= 3x^3+2y-2x-y^2[/tex]
[tex]N(x,y)=-1[/tex]
to check whether the differential equation is exact, we must verify that
[tex]\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}[/tex]
But
[tex]\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial (3x^3+2y-2x-y^2)}{\partial y}=2-2y[/tex]
whereas
[tex]\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}=\frac{(-1)}{\partial x}=0[/tex]
and we can see
[tex]\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}\neq \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}[/tex]
So the differential equation is not exact.
