Explanation

This question tests the method of solving differential equations by separation of variables, similar to Example 5 in the textbook context. The key insight is to recognize that both numerator and denominator can be written as perfect squares plus a constant, allowing integration using the inverse tangent formula.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Rewrite the given differential equation by separating variables.

    Given:

    dydx+y2+y+1x2+x+1=0\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{y^2 + y + 1}{x^2 + x + 1} = 0

    Rearranging:

    dydx=−y2+y+1x2+x+1\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{y^2 + y + 1}{x^2 + x + 1}

    Separating variables:

    dyy2+y+1=−dxx2+x+1\frac{dy}{y^2 + y + 1} = -\frac{dx}{x^2 + x + 1}
  2. Step 2: Integrate both sides.

    Note that

    y2+y+1=(y+12)2+34=(y+12)2+(32)2y^2 + y + 1 = \left(y + \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \frac{3}{4} = \left(y + \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2

    Similarly,

    x2+x+1=(x+12)2+(32)2x^2 + x + 1 = \left(x + \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2

    Using ∫dtt2+a2=1atan⁡−1ta\int \frac{dt}{t^2 + a^2} = \frac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}\frac{t}{a}:

    23tan⁡−12y+13=−23tan⁡−12x+13+C\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\tan^{-1}\frac{2y + 1}{\sqrt{3}} = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\tan^{-1}\frac{2x + 1}{\sqrt{3}} + C
  3. Step 3: Simplify the equation.

    tan⁡−12y+13+tan⁡−12x+13=C1\tan^{-1}\frac{2y + 1}{\sqrt{3}} + \tan^{-1}\frac{2x + 1}{\sqrt{3}} = C_1

    Using tan⁡−1a+tan⁡−1b=tan⁡−1a+b1−ab\tan^{-1}a + \tan^{-1}b = \tan^{-1}\frac{a+b}{1-ab}:

    tan⁡−1(2y+13+2x+131−(2y+1)(2x+1)3)=C1\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{2y+1}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{2x+1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 - \frac{(2y+1)(2x+1)}{3}}\right) = C_1
  4. Step 4: Take tangent on both sides and simplify.

    Taking tangent:

    2x+2y+233−(4xy+2x+2y+1)3=A\frac{\frac{2x+2y+2}{\sqrt{3}}}{\frac{3-(4xy+2x+2y+1)}{3}} = A

    (where A=tan⁡C1A = \tan C_1)

    2(x+y+1)3⋅32−4xy−2x−2y=A\frac{2(x+y+1)}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{3}{2-4xy-2x-2y} = A 3(x+y+1)1−x−y−2xy=A\frac{\sqrt{3}(x+y+1)}{1-x-y-2xy} = A
  5. Step 5: Rearrange to get the required form.

    (x+y+1)=A3(1−x−y−2xy)(x + y + 1) = \frac{A}{\sqrt{3}}(1 - x - y - 2xy)

    Let A3=A\frac{A}{\sqrt{3}} = A (renaming the constant):

    (x+y+1)=A(1−x−y−2xy)(x + y + 1) = A(1 - x - y - 2xy)

    This is the general solution of the given differential equation, where AA is an arbitrary parameter.
