Find the complete integral of z = px+qy+p^3q^3

Find the complete integral of \[ z = px+qy+p^3q^3. \]

Explanation of Method

Clairaut form $z=px+qy+f(p,q)$; substitute $p=a$, $q=b$.

Step 1 · Apply the Clairaut substitution

\[ z = ax+by+a^3b^3. \]


Verification

$p=a$, $q=b$, so $px+qy+p^3q^3=ax+by+a^3b^3=z$. \checkmark

Result

The complete integral is:

\[ \boxed{ z = ax+by+a^3b^3 } \]
