U=-∫(yi+xj)(dxi+dyj)
ΔU=-xy

i think unstable equilibrium...

-dU/dx = yi ... U = -xy
-dU/dy = xj ... U = -xy

therefore U = -xy

at origin it is 0 ... at some other point it can be positive or -ve .. therefore at origin it niether attains maxima or minima .. so it is in unstable eq .

It is easy.. just multiply.... them and you will get ydx+xdy=d(xy)
