Class 12 Maths · Differential Equations · Long Answer #55

Solve (1 + e^(y/x))dy + e^(y/x)(1 − y/x)dx = 0, x ≠ 0.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: y + xe^(y/x) = C, x ≠ 0.
  1. Compute d[xe^(y/x)] = e^(y/x)(1 − y/x)dx + e^(y/x)dy.
  2. The entire left-hand side is therefore d[y + xe^(y/x)].
  3. Integrating the exact differential gives y + xe^(y/x) = C. Its partial derivative with respect to y is 1 + e^(y/x) > 0.
  4. Thus y + xe^(y/x) = C defines local solution graphs on either side of x = 0, including the straight-line member when C = 0.
