Rewrite the differential equation
Rewrite the differential equation in the standard form $M(x,y)dx+N(x,y)dy=0$
The differential equation $x^2e^y+\sin\left(x\right)-1dy1\left(y\cos\left(x\right)+2xe^y\right)dx=0$ is exact, since it is written in the standard form $M(x,y)dx+N(x,y)dy=0$, where $M(x,y)$ and $N(x,y)$ are the partial derivatives of a two-variable function $f(x,y)$ and they satisfy the test for exactness: $\displaystyle\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}$. In other words, their second partial derivatives are equal. The general solution of the differential equation is of the form $f(x,y)=C$
Using the test for exactness, we check that the differential equation is exact
Integrate $M(x,y)$ with respect to $x$ to get
Now take the partial derivative of $y\sin\left(x\right)+e^yx^2$ with respect to $y$ to get
Set $x^2e^y+\sin\left(x\right)-1$ and $\sin\left(x\right)+x^2e^y+g'(y)$ equal to each other and isolate $g'(y)$
Find $g(y)$ integrating both sides
We have found our $f(x,y)$ and it equals
Then, the solution to the differential equation is
