In order for these two terms to equal zero, we have to solve this linear system of equations:
$a_{1}k+b_{1}l=-c_1$
$a_{2}k+b_{2}l=-c_{2}$
if $\det\begin{pmatrix}a_{1} & b_{1} \\a_{2} & b_{2}\end{pmatrix}\ne0$ the system is solvable and the DE turns into a homogenous equation.
if $\det\begin{pmatrix}a_{1} & b_{1} \\a_{2} & b_{2}\end{pmatrix}=0 \Rightarrow$ the system is unsolvable but we get an equation of type $\frac{ dy }{ dx }=G(ax+by)$ (also homogenous)
### Example
#ex #de_LC_type1
$$(-3x+y+6)dx+(x+y+2)dy=0$$
let $x=u+k$
$y=v+l$
differentiating we get: $dx=du ,\quad dy=dv$
$(-3u+v+6-3k+l)du+(u+v+2+k+l)dv=0$
we want $6-3k+l$ and $2+k+l$ to equal 0
so:
$-3k+l=-6$
$k+l=-2$
$det\begin{pmatrix}-3 & 1 \\1 & 1\end{pmatrix}=-4$ //you call it a fish? He can call it a dinosaur if he wanted to :D
solving gives us:
$k=1,l=-3$
so $x=u+1 \quad y=v-3$
$(-3u+v)du+(u+v)dv=0$ //Beautiful! It's homogenous now
$\frac{ dv }{ du }=\frac{{3-\frac{v}{u}}}{1+\frac{v}{u}}$
$\frac{v}{u}=w \quad v=uw \quad \frac{ dv }{ du }=w+u\frac{ dw }{ du }$
$w+u\frac{ dw }{ du }=\frac{{3-w}}{1+w}$ If you remember from lecture 2, after these substitutions the equation should now be separable, we just move the w terms to one side and the u terms to the other:
> How did he get rid of the abs()? I'm not sure. But he fixes the problem right after:
$\mid z\mid u^2=e^{2C}$
> Funny enough, after that step above of squaring both sides is done, it's like he never even dropped the abs to begin with. All solutions are reobtained again.
