Solving $frac{mathrm dy}{mathrm dx}+frac y{x^2}=frac1{x^2}$
$begingroup$
Solve the following equation:
$$
dfrac {dy}{dx} + dfrac {y}{x^2}=dfrac {1}{x^2}
$$
My Attempt
Given:
$$
dfrac {dy}{dx}+dfrac {y}{x^2}=dfrac {1}{x^2}
$$
Comparing above equation with the standard form of first order linear differential equation $dy/dx+P.y=Q$ where $P$ and $Q$ are the functions of $x$ or constants.
Now, using the integrating factor $e^{int P dx}$:
$$
e^{int P dx}=e^{int x^{-2} dx}=e^{-frac {1}{x}}
$$
Multiplying both sides of the given equation by integrating factor:
$$
e^{-frac {1}{x}}.dfrac {dy}{dx}+dfrac {y.e^{-frac {1}{x}}}{x^2}=dfrac {e^{-frac {1}{x}}}{x^2}

OK. And the next step is to recognize the left-hand side as the derivative of ...something, something that's typically a product. For then you'll have $f'(x) = $ right-hand-side, and you can find $f$ by integration. So what is the left-hand-side the derivative of?

Great, now write it in the form
$$frac{e^{-1/x}}{x^2}(y-1),dx + e^{-1/x} ,dy = 0$$
We are trying to find a function $F(x,y)$ such that the LHS above is the total differential of $F$.
Hence $$frac{partial F}{partial y} = e^{-1/x}$$
$$frac{partial F}{partial y} = frac{e^{-1/x}}{x^2}(y-1)$$
Solving this we get e.g. $F(x,y) = e^{-1/x}(y-1)$.
Hence our equation is $$dF(x,y) = 0$$
so $F(x,y) = C$ for some $C in mathbb{R}$. We get
$$e^{-1/x}(y-1) = C implies y = 1+Ce^{1/x}$$

I'll review the general solution from an integration factor. Let $R:=expint Pdx$ so $R'=RP,,(Ry)'=R(y'+Py)=RQ,,y=R^{-1}int RQdx$. In the special case $P=Q$, as in this problem, we in fact have $RQ=R'$ so $y=1+CR^{-1}$. As others have noted, $P=Q$ also makes the equation separable, viz. $dy/(1-y)=Pdx$ so $-ln |1-y|=ln R+C$, i.e. $|1-y|propto R^{-1}$.

for the homogeneous solution $y_h = C_0 e^{frac 1x}$ which after substitution gives
$$
-C_0frac{x^2}{x^2}e^{frac 1x}+C_0 e^{frac 1x}=0

Great, now write it in the form
$$frac{e^{-1/x}}{x^2}(y-1),dx + e^{-1/x} ,dy = 0$$
We are trying to find a function $F(x,y)$ such that the LHS above is the total differential of $F$.
Hence $$frac{partial F}{partial y} = e^{-1/x}$$
$$frac{partial F}{partial y} = frac{e^{-1/x}}{x^2}(y-1)$$
Solving this we get e.g. $F(x,y) = e^{-1/x}(y-1)$.
Hence our equation is $$dF(x,y) = 0$$
so $F(x,y) = C$ for some $C in mathbb{R}$. We get
$$e^{-1/x}(y-1) = C implies y = 1+Ce^{1/x}$$

I'll review the general solution from an integration factor. Let $R:=expint Pdx$ so $R'=RP,,(Ry)'=R(y'+Py)=RQ,,y=R^{-1}int RQdx$. In the special case $P=Q$, as in this problem, we in fact have $RQ=R'$ so $y=1+CR^{-1}$. As others have noted, $P=Q$ also makes the equation separable, viz. $dy/(1-y)=Pdx$ so $-ln |1-y|=ln R+C$, i.e. $|1-y|propto R^{-1}$.
