Differential Equation and Initial Value Problem with solution u(x)

54 Views Asked by At

It's my first week dealing with Differential Equations, and I am totally lost regarding the following question. Any help would be very much appreciated!

u(x)is a solution to initial value problem:

$xy'=y-xe^{\frac{y}{x}}$

y(e)=0

a. $u(e^e)=e^e$

b. $u(e^e)=2^e$

c. $u(e^e)=-e^e$

d. $u(e^e)=e^2$

e. $u(e^e)=e^{-e}$

You should recognize that the main intermediate expression of your equation is $v=y/x$. Insert that to get everything to contract nicely to $$ v'=\frac{xy'-y}{x^2}=-\frac{e^v}x, $$ which can now be solved as separable ODE.
