Class 12 Maths · Differential Equations · Long Answer #44

Solve xy′ = y(ln y − ln x + 1).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: y = xe^(Cx), x > 0, C ∈ ℝ.
  1. The original logarithms require x > 0 and y > 0. Put v = y/x > 0, so y′ = v + xv′.
  2. Substitution yields xv′ = v ln v. Set u = ln v, giving u′ = u/x, without excluding u = 0.
  3. Solve (u/x)′ = 0 to obtain u = Cx, with every real C including zero.
  4. Therefore y = xe^(Cx), x > 0. This includes the previously lost solution y = x.
