How general solution of this form of differential equation can be found? $$\frac {dy}{dx} = \frac {2y}{x}$$

$$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2y}{x} \hspace{10pt}\Leftrightarrow \hspace{10pt}\frac{dy}{2y}=\frac{dx}{x}$$ Now you just need to integrate.

    okay that becomes $$\frac {y^2}{4}dy = \log xdx$$ am i right?2012-11-23

    No, That becomes $\frac12\ln y=\ln x+C$ and so $y=Cx^2$2012-11-23
