Solving ODE via Separation Method: Need Assistance

Can anyone help me solve this ODE:
..in other words, find a general solution?

dy/dx = e^(x+y)

I use a separation method, but i can't take the natural log of -e^(-y).
So, help?

Perhaps you can move the minus in front of e-y to the other side of your equation before you apply log.
 
Looks to me like you have forgotten the constant of integration. You should get something like y= -ln(C- e^x) which exists only for C> e^x or x< ln(C)

e^(x+y) = e^x * e*y
e^(-y) dy = e^x dx
integrate both sides
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
