TopicFirst order differential equations (integrating factor)

3. (a) Show that the substitution \(y = v x\) transforms the differential equation $$\frac { d y } { d x } = \frac { 3 x - 4 y } { 4 x + 3 y }$$ into the differential equation $$x \frac { \mathrm {~d} v } { \mathrm {~d} x } = - \frac { 3 v ^ { 2 } + 8 v - 3 } { 3 v + 4 }$$ (b) By solving differential equation (II), find a general solution of differential equation (I). (5)
(c) Given that \(y = 7\) at \(x = 1\), show that the particular solution of differential equation (I) can be written as $$( 3 y - x ) ( y + 3 x ) = 200$$ (5)(Total 14 marks)
