2.2.3-4   #3a          Solve the differential equation by conversion to polar coordinates and sketch the solution curves:

 

Solution:                1.  Rewrite equation in standard differential form: 

                                               

                                2.  Equation is homogeneous.  Use conversion to polar coordinates to reduce it to separable ODE
