2. Homogeneous Function
A function f(x,y) is called Homogeneous of
degree n if
Where t is a nonzero real number. Thus
are
Homogeneous function of degree 1, 8 and 0
respectively

3. Homogeneous Equation
A first order DE of the form
Is said to be Homogeneous if the function f does
not depend on x and y separately, but only on
ratio . Thus first order homogeneous
equation are of the form ---------(1)
A homogeneous equation
Is transformed into a separable equation (in the
variables y and x) by the substitution y = vx
