Answer

$y=\pm \sqrt {(\ln x)^2+C}$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $x \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{y} \ln x$ We will separate the variables to obtain: $y \ dy=\dfrac{\ln x}{x}$ Integrate to obtain: $\int y \ dy=\int \dfrac{\ln x}{x} \ dx$ This implies that $\dfrac{y^2}{2}=\dfrac{(\ln x)^2}{2}+C$ Therefore, we have: $y=\pm \sqrt {(\ln x)^2+C}$
