How would I solve this differential equation for y ( x )?
d y d x = y x y x x y
y ln ( y ) = x ln ( x ) + C
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I looked it up on WolframAlpha and the solution uses something called a Product Log Function. How does it work? And how does the solution come out to be:
y ( x ) = W ( e ( c 1 x ) x )

d y d x = y x y x x y = y ( 1 x ) x ( 1 y ) ( 1 y ) d y y = ( 1 x ) d x x ln y y = ln x x + c ( y ) e ( y ) = e c x e ( x )
Now if:
a e a = b a = W ( b )
So:
y = W ( e c x e x ) t = W ( e c x x )
