(1) Determine $g:(0, +infty)to mathbbR$ such that $g(1)=1$ and the differential form $omega=2xg(x^2+y^2)dx + frac2y(x^2+y^2)^2dy$ is closed.



(2) Before determining the potentials, prove that for such a g the form $omega$ is exact.



(3) Determine the potential U such that $U(0,1)=2$.



(4) Using U determine the solution of the Cauchy problem: $y'(x)=-x/y$, $y(0)=1$.




My attempt:



(1) Let F be the field associated to $omega$ we must have $partial_xF_2= partial_yF_1$, that is $g'(t)=-2/t^3$, therefore $g(t)=1/t^2$.



(2) The form is defined on $mathbbR^2-0$, which is not a star domain or a simply connected set... I don't know other criteria to obtain the thesis without finding a potential. I can only say that $omega$ is locally exact. Can you give me a hint?



(3) $U(x,y)=U(0,1) + int_1^yF_2(0,t)dt + int_0^xF_1(t,y)dt = 3-frac1x^2+y^2$ which is a potential in $mathbbR^2-0$.
(4) Here I would also like a hint.
