Math Problem Statement

Find the first integral Φ(x, y, C) = 0 of ξ = {y = xy' + y' * ln y}

Solution

To find the first integral Φ(x,y,C)=0\Phi(x, y, C) = 0 of the differential equation given by ξ=y=xy+ylny\xi = y = x y' + y' \ln y we'll start by analyzing and simplifying the differential equation.

The equation can be rewritten as: y=xdydx+dydxlnyy = x \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{dy}{dx} \ln y

Rearranging terms, we get: y=dydx(x+lny)y = \frac{dy}{dx} \left( x + \ln y \right)

Now, solving for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}, we obtain: dydx=yx+lny\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x + \ln y}

Step 1: Rewrite as a Separable Equation

At this stage, let’s try to separate the variables xx and yy.

Rewrite the equation as: dyy=dxx+lny\frac{dy}{y} = \frac{dx}{x + \ln y}

However, this form is not immediately separable. So, let’s proceed by substituting v=lnyv = \ln y, which implies that y=evy = e^v and dydx=evdvdx\frac{dy}{dx} = e^v \frac{dv}{dx}.

Step 2: Substitute and Simplify

Substituting y=evy = e^v and dydx=evdvdx\frac{dy}{dx} = e^v \frac{dv}{dx} into the differential equation, we have: ev=xevdvdx+evdvdxve^v = x e^v \frac{dv}{dx} + e^v \frac{dv}{dx} \cdot v Dividing through by eve^v, we get: 1=dvdx(x+v)1 = \frac{dv}{dx} (x + v)

Thus: dvdx=1x+v\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1}{x + v}

Step 3: Separate Variables Again

Now we have a separable differential equation in terms of vv and xx: (x+v)dv=dx\int (x + v) \, dv = \int dx

The next steps involve integrating both sides and solving for Φ(x,y,C)\Phi(x, y, C), where v=lnyv = \ln y.
