Linear Differential Equation (First Order)

Rarely Tested

Standard form: $$\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)$$
Integrating Factor (IF): $$e^{\int P(x) \, dx}$$
Solution: $$y \cdot \mathrm{IF} = \int Q(x) \cdot \mathrm{IF} \, dx + C$$
Question 1

The integral curve of the differential equation

$$x(1 - x \ln y)\frac{dy}{dx} + y = 0$$

which passes through the point $$\left(e, \frac{1}{e}\right)$$ is:
