calculus - Why is intleft[fracpartialpartialyintM(x,y)dxright]dyneintM(x,y)dx?



So, is [yM(x,y)dx]dyM(x,y)dx?



Let u(x,y) be a function. Then (yu(x,y))x=Nu(x,y). Integrating this with respect to y, we get yu(x,y)dy=u(x,y)=Nu(x,y)dy+ϕ(x). Considering this to be true( & I know this to be true), if we substitute M(x,y)dx for u(x,y) in the above equation, we get yM(x,y)dxdy=M(x,y)dx=NMdx(x,y)dy+ϕ(x).



But this seems to be not true. For example, consider M(x,y)=x2ay. So, [yM(x,y)dx]dy=[y(x2ay)dx]dy=[y(x33axy)]dy=[ax]dy=axy .




If I use [yM(x,y)dx]dy=M(x,y)dx, then we get [y(x2ay)dx]dy=x33axyaxy. That means (I) is wrong, but I know that (I) is not wrong. So, does that mean (II) is wrong? Why can't I substitute M(x,y)dx for u(x,y) in (I)? I know something is not right but can't able to notice the flaw. Can anyone explain why is [yM(x,y)dx]dyM(x,y)dx?


Answer



There is an error: y(x33axy) is not ay but ax. When you antidifferentiate this with respect to y, you get axy+ϕ(x) (i.e. the "constant of integration" may depend on x in an arbitrary way), which does equal x33axy when you take ϕ(x)=x33.
