Help solving this ODE [SOLVED]
[itex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{e^{-x}cosy - e^{2y}cosx}{-e^{-x}siny+2e^{2y}sinx}[/itex]
First, this is non-linear, not a bernoulli, non-separable, and looks hopeful for an exact. But when I take the partials I get the derivatives as being negatives of one-another.
EDIT
Nevermind, I found out what I was doing wrong. I was being lazy and didn't actually write it in differential form, keeping the negative sign when taking the appropriate partials and ended up with the two results being negatives of each other.
