The document discusses solving a first order, first degree homogeneous differential equation.
1) The given equation is dy/dx = (x^2 - y^2)/xy, which is homogeneous in x and y.
2) Putting y = vx transforms the equation into a separable equation in v and x.
3) Integrating both sides and applying logarithm rules yields the general solution as log(x^4) - log(1 - 2v^2) = constant.
