First Order Differential Equation Help...

<p>Can't get this for some reason..</p>

<p>x dy/dx + y = x</p>

<p>Hey, I just died doing this!</p>

<p>basically this is the derivitive of (xy), so integrating both sides will lead you to the answer</p>

<p>Also, if you get y’+xy=x, you can multiply by e^x because v(x) is cool like that solves stuff and equals e^(int. p(x)), p(x) being the function by which y is multiplied</p>

<p>Too bad I am of no help for your homework :/</p>

<p>I can’t figure out how to separate out the variables.</p>

<p>Edit: CC rules</p>

<p>this isn’t separable</p>

<p>You don’t use separation of variables. Integrate both sides.</p>

<p>Listen to CPA. He’s a Diff Eq’s pro.</p>

<p>hah, I now feel confident enough to pass my next midterm</p>

<p>Can’t you just divide through by x and make it a linear DE in standard form? Then mu(x)=e^Integral(1/x), g(x)=1, etc. etc.</p>

<p>OP has the answer–don’t worry about it. PM=done deal</p>
