Answer

$y=\sqrt {2\ln|x|+1}$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $xy \dfrac{dy}{dx}=1$ We will separate the variables to obtain: $y \ dy=\dfrac{dx}{x}$ Integrate to obtain: $\int y \ dy=\int\dfrac{dx}{x}$ This implies that $\dfrac{y^2}{2}=\ln|x|+C$ After applying the initial conditions, $y=1$ when $x=1$, we get $C=\dfrac{1}{2}$ Therefore, we have: $\dfrac{y^2}{2}=\ln|x|+\dfrac{1}{2} \implies y=\sqrt {2\ln|x|+1}$
