At
x=1 the initial value gives
v=1, hence
C=1+e−1. Recovering
y=v/x gives
y(x)=−xln(1+e−1−x),0<x<1+e−1.
This is the maximal real
graph interval containing the initial point: the
logarithm requires
x<1+e−1, and the
numerator has a nonzero limit at zero, so this
particular solution cannot extend through zero. Differentiating
xy=−ln(C−x) verifies
xy′+y=1/(C−x)=exy.
