Key Concepts and Formulas

• Homogeneous Differential Equations: A differential equation of the form $\frac{dy}{dx} = f(x,y)$ is homogeneous if $f(x, y)$ can be written as a function of $\frac{y}{x}$. We solve these using the substitution $y = vx$, which implies $\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x\frac{dv}{dx}$.
• Integration Techniques: Basic integration formulas and techniques, including separation of variables.
• Area Between Curves: The area enclosed between two curves $y = f(x)$ and $y = g(x)$ from $x = a$ to $x = b$ is given by $\int_a^b |f(x) - g(x)| dx$.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Solve the first differential equation

The first differential equation is $2xy\frac{dy}{dx} = y^2 - x^2$. We rewrite it as: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y^2 - x^2}{2xy}$ This is a homogeneous differential equation. Let $y = vx$, so $\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x\frac{dv}{dx}$. Substituting into the equation, we get: $v + x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{v^2x^2 - x^2}{2x^2v} = \frac{v^2 - 1}{2v}$ Now, separate variables: $x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{v^2 - 1}{2v} - v = \frac{v^2 - 1 - 2v^2}{2v} = \frac{-v^2 - 1}{2v}$ $\frac{2v}{v^2 + 1} dv = -\frac{dx}{x}$ Integrate both sides: $\int \frac{2v}{v^2 + 1} dv = \int -\frac{dx}{x}$ $\ln(v^2 + 1) = -\ln(x) + C_1$ $\ln(v^2 + 1) + \ln(x) = C_1$ $\ln(x(v^2 + 1)) = C_1$ $x(v^2 + 1) = e^{C_1} = C$ Substitute $v = \frac{y}{x}$: $x\left(\frac{y^2}{x^2} + 1\right) = C$ $\frac{y^2}{x} + x = C$ $y^2 + x^2 = Cx$ Since the curve passes through (1, 1), we have: $1^2 + 1^2 = C(1)$ $C = 2$ Thus, the equation of curve $C_1$ is: $y^2 + x^2 = 2x$ $y^2 = 2x - x^2$

Step 2: Solve the second differential equation

The second differential equation is $\frac{2xy}{x^2 - y^2} = \frac{dy}{dx}$. We rewrite it as: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2xy}{x^2 - y^2}$ This is also a homogeneous differential equation. Let $y = vx$, so $\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x\frac{dv}{dx}$. Substituting into the equation, we get: $v + x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{2x^2v}{x^2 - v^2x^2} = \frac{2v}{1 - v^2}$ Now, separate variables: $x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{2v}{1 - v^2} - v = \frac{2v - v + v^3}{1 - v^2} = \frac{v + v^3}{1 - v^2}$ $\frac{1 - v^2}{v(1 + v^2)} dv = \frac{dx}{x}$ We can rewrite $\frac{1 - v^2}{v(1 + v^2)}$ as $\frac{A}{v} + \frac{Bv + C}{1 + v^2}$. Then $1 - v^2 = A(1+v^2) + (Bv+C)v = A + Av^2 + Bv^2 + Cv$. Comparing coefficients, $C = 0$, $A+B = -1$, and $A = 1$. Thus, $B = -2$. So, $\frac{1 - v^2}{v(1 + v^2)} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{2v}{1 + v^2}$. $\int \left(\frac{1}{v} - \frac{2v}{1 + v^2}\right) dv = \int \frac{dx}{x}$ $\ln|v| - \ln(1 + v^2) = \ln|x| + C_2$ $\ln\left|\frac{v}{1 + v^2}\right| = \ln|x| + C_2$ $\frac{v}{1 + v^2} = Kx$ Substitute $v = \frac{y}{x}$: $\frac{y/x}{1 + y^2/x^2} = Kx$ $\frac{y/x}{(x^2 + y^2)/x^2} = Kx$ $\frac{yx}{x^2 + y^2} = Kx$ $y = K(x^2 + y^2)$ Since the curve passes through (1, 1), we have: $1 = K(1^2 + 1^2)$ $1 = 2K$ $K = \frac{1}{2}$ Thus, the equation of curve $C_2$ is: $y = \frac{1}{2}(x^2 + y^2)$ $2y = x^2 + y^2$ $x^2 + y^2 = 2y$

Step 3: Find the intersection points of the two curves

We have $x^2 + y^2 = 2x$ and $x^2 + y^2 = 2y$. Therefore, $2x = 2y$, which implies $x = y$. Substituting $x = y$ into $x^2 + y^2 = 2x$, we get $x^2 + x^2 = 2x$, so $2x^2 = 2x$, which means $2x^2 - 2x = 0$, or $2x(x - 1) = 0$. Thus, $x = 0$ or $x = 1$. Since $x > 0$, we have $x = 1$. Then $y = 1$. Also, we know both curves pass through (1,1). The curve $x^2 + y^2 = 2x$ can be rewritten as $(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 1$, which is a circle centered at (1,0) with radius 1. The curve $x^2 + y^2 = 2y$ can be rewritten as $x^2 + (y-1)^2 = 1$, which is a circle centered at (0,1) with radius 1.

Step 4: Calculate the area enclosed by the curves

The area enclosed by the two circles can be found by integrating. We have $y^2 = 2x - x^2$ and $x^2 = 2y - y^2$. Thus, $y = \sqrt{2x - x^2}$ and $y = 1 - \sqrt{1 - x^2}$ for the first circle and $y = 1 + \sqrt{1 - x^2}$ for the second circle. Since $x=y$ we can consider only the upper halves and multiply by 2. The intersection is at (1,1).

Area = $2\int_0^1 (\sqrt{2y - y^2} - y) dy = 2\int_0^1 (\sqrt{1-(y-1)^2} - y) dy$. Area = $2 \left[ \frac{y-1}{2}\sqrt{1-(y-1)^2} + \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}(y-1) - \frac{y^2}{2}\right]_0^1$ Area = $2 \left[ (0 + \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}(0) - \frac{1}{2}) - (0 + \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}(-1) - 0) \right]$ Area = $2 \left[ -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2}(-\frac{\pi}{2}) \right]$ Area = $2\left[ -\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4} \right] = -1 + \frac{\pi}{2}$.

However we need the absolute area, so the required area is $\left| \frac{\pi}{2} -1 \right| = \frac{\pi}{2}-1$. But the question asks for the area enclosed. We need to consider the other circle. The total area is $\int_0^1 (1 + \sqrt{1-x^2}) - (1 - \sqrt{1-x^2}) dx = \int_0^1 2 \sqrt{1-x^2} dx = 2\left[ \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{1-x^2} + \frac{1}{2} \sin^{-1} x \right]_0^1 = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2}$. Then we need to remove the area between $y=x$ and circle 2 which is $\frac{\pi}{2}-1$. So the area enclosed is the area of sector which is $\frac{\pi}{4}$ plus the area of the triangle.

Area = $2(\int_0^1 \sqrt{2x-x^2}dx - \int_0^1 x dx) = \frac{\pi}{2}-1$

Area enclosed = $(\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2} *1*1) * 2 - (\frac{\pi}{2} - 1) = \frac{\pi}{2} -1$ Area = $|1 - \frac{\pi}{2}| = \frac{\pi}{2} -1$. And The other area is $\frac{\pi}{2}-1$. So total area is $\pi/2 -1 + 1 = \pi/4 +1$. The area enclosed can be found using geometry. Each circle has area $\pi(1)^2 = \pi$. The area of intersection of the two circles is $\frac{\pi}{2} - 1$. The area enclosed is the sum of the areas of two segments, each of area $\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2}$. So the total area is $2(\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2}) = \frac{\pi}{2} - 1$.

The area enclosed is $\frac{\pi}{2} - 1 + 1 = \frac{\pi}{4} + 1$.

Common Mistakes & Tips

We solved two homogeneous differential equations by using the substitution $y = vx$. We used the initial condition (1, 1) to find the particular solutions for both curves. We recognized that the curves are circles. Finally, we found the area enclosed by these curves by considering the geometrical interpretation of the area. The area enclosed is $\frac{\pi}{4} + 1$.
