$f(x,y) = e^{y/x} + \tan\frac{y}{x}$ is homogeneous of degree zero.
$x\log\frac{x}{x}dx + \frac{y^2}{x} - \sin^{-1}\frac{y}{x}dy = 0$ is homogeneous
$f(x,y) = x^2 + \sin x\cos y$ is not homogeneous.
$(x^2+y^2)dx - (xy^2-y^3)dy = 0$ is a homogeneous differential equation.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: A function f(x,y) is homogeneous of degree zero if f(tx,ty) = f(x,y) for all t ≠ 0, which means it depends only on the ratio y/x. For differential equations M(x,y)dx + N(x,y)dy = 0 to be homogeneous, both M and N must be homogeneous functions of the same degree.
Question (A): $f(x,tx) = e^t + \tan^{-1}(t)$ is independent of $x$, so it is homogeneous. Question (B): $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\log(y/x)}{y^2/x^2 \sin^{-1}(y/x)}$ shows $f(x,tx)$ is independent of $x$, making it homogeneous. Question (C): $f(x,y) = x^2 + \sin x\cos y$ depends on $x$ even when scaled, so it is not homogeneous. Question (D): $f(x,y) = \frac{x^2+y^2}{xy^2-y^3}$ shows $f(x,tx)$ is not independent of $f(x,tx)$ patterns, so it is not homogeneous.
