1. Solve the following first order ordinary differential equation:

1
y′ = 2x
y2 + y

2. Solve the following first order ordinary differential equation:

(2y 2 − 4x + 5)dx = −(4 − 2y + 4xy)dy.

3. Solve the following first order ordinary differential equation:

2x − y + 1
y′ =
x − 2y + 3

4. Let I(x, y) be the integrating factor for the inexact ODE M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy = 0 such
that the corresponding integral curve is f (x, y) = C. Show that F (f (x, y))I(x, y) is also an
integrating factor for M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy = 0, where F (x) can any differentiable function
of x. In other words, there can be infinitely many integrating factors for the same inexact
ODE.
