Really not sure... Does anyone know an appropriate substitution?

The whole problem is:

Find the substitution that simplifies the differential equation

x(dy/dx) + y = e^(x*y)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What is
\frac{d(xy)}{dx}
?
 
I know the first part. It is the integration of e^(x*y) that I am having problems with, as it requires a substitution...
 
don't you think that afterwards you will have too many (x*y)s?

one more sentence and the other party will have to solve it -_-

I understand that- and if you had answered my question, it should have become obvious to you what substitution you need.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
