Exactness Check
1. **Problem Statement:** Determine whether the differential equation $\left(3x^2 y - y\right) dx + \left(x^3 - x\right) dy = 0$ is exact or not by evaluating the partial derivatives, and classify it as exact, separable, homogeneous, or linear.
2. **Recall:** For a differential equation of the form $M(x,y) dx + N(x,y) dy = 0$, it is exact if $\frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}$.
3. **Identify:** Here, $M = 3x^2 y - y = y(3x^2 - 1)$ and $N = x^3 - x$.
4. **Compute partial derivatives:**
$$\frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = 3x^2 - 1$$
$$\frac{\partial N}{\partial x} = 3x^2 - 1$$
5. Since $\frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}$, the equation is **exact**.
6. **Classification:**
- It is exact.
- It is not separable because variables cannot be separated easily.
- It is homogeneous because both $M$ and $N$ are homogeneous functions of degree 3.
- It is not linear in $y$ and $x$.
**Final answer:** The differential equation is **exact** and **homogeneous**.
