Abstract.
In this paper, we will show the solutions of certain exact differential equations that are
obtained through the interactive GeoGebra software. GeoGebra software has been of great
motivational support in the processes of teaching and modeling in mathematics in various
universities and colleges, especially in the engineering careers of the University of Antofagasta
in the courses of differential equations and calculation of several variables

1. Introduction
These authors today tell us about the advantages of using GeoGebra in the teaching and learning
of mathematics, among which we mention del Pino in [1], which tells us that this software is free,
free and open source. It does not cost money to the various educational centers and is simple,
powerful and at the same time powerful. It has a spreadsheet and its many different views that
allow alternating the use of arithmetic, algebraic representations, and symbolic calculation. And
in [2] Garcia 2014 is cited who comments that GeoGebra is a technological resource that can be
used in learning knowledge and that it should be included in the planning of a class as teaching
material for the development of activities, in our case the exact differential equations. With these
arguments is that we propose to show the various GeoGebra applets of some exact equations
along with their solutions that were used during the year 2019 in the course of differential
equations as help and contribution in the process of teaching these contents for careers of
engineering from the University of Antofagasta. This work is the continuation of the teaching
project and the paper ”Interactive animations and creations in linear differential equations of
the first order: the case of GeoGebra [3].

2. GeoGebra Applets of exact differential equations

Below we will show some examples of apples from GeoGebra of first-order linear partial
differential equations and its solutions available in https://www.geogebra.org/m/v4jjtuxq
Example 1 Be
(xn − 1)dy + nyxn−1 dx = 0

3. Conclusion
The objective of this paper has been to share applets designed with exact differential equations
to help and motivate the learning of mathematics, especially the exact equations in engineering
students from Antofagasta and other universities.
