The differential equation is:



$$yy'=y+1$$I've been trying to solve this problem all evening, but I cannot figure it out, and none of the online calculators show me the steps on how to find the solution. Could anybody help me out?

  • It's separable, no? I mean the variable $x$ doesn't even appear explicitly.

  • It is separable, yes

  • So...just isolate the terms involving $y$ on one side and $dx$ on the other.

  • It is both separable and automonous.

This can be reduced to just some calculus, by writing $dy/dx = frac{y+1}{y}$. This can now be separated, giving



$$frac{y dy}{y+1} = dx$$



Which can be integrated by making a substitution to give



$$y - log(|y+1|) + C = x$$



I don't think you will be able to solve this explicitly for $y$ though.

  • $-(y+1)e^{-(y+1)}=c,e^{-x}$ can be solved as $y=-1-W(c,e^{-x})$ using the Lambert-W function.

$$frac{y,dy}{y+1}=dx.$$



By integration from $x_0$,
$$y-y_0-logfrac{y+1}{y_0+1}=x-x_0.$$

    $$frac{y,dy}{y+1}=dx.$$



    By integration from $x_0$,
    $$y-y_0-logfrac{y+1}{y_0+1}=x-x_0.$$
