Solving Differential Equation: dy/dx = e^x + y

[wezzo62]

Find the general solution to:
dy/dx = e^x+y

Im not sure if I am doing this right or not. i tried saying e^x+y = e^x x e^y and using partial differentiation to solve it but keep getting the same as the question: e^x+y
i know differentiating e^x gives e^x so is it the same in this case?

Why should you use partial differentiation??

You are given a separable differential equation,
\frac{dy}{dx}=e^{x}*e^{y}, or:
e^{-y}dy=e^{x}dx
Thus, you have, by integration:
-e^{-y}=e^{x}+C, where C is a constant of integration.
We now rewrite this as:
e^{-y}=B-e^{x},B=-C
Taking the natural logarithm at both sides yields:
-y=\ln(B-e^{x})
That is:
y(x)=-\ln(B-e^{x})

hi wezzo62! welcome to pf!

… i tried saying e^x+y = e^x + e^y

no, e^x+y = e^x times e^y

try again! ​

hi wezzo62! welcome to pf!


no, e^x+y = e^x times e^y

try again! ​

typo, i meant and was writing time not plus
