Answer

$y= \frac{e^{x}+C}{x}, x>0$

Work Step by Step

$x\frac{dy}{dx}+y= e^{x}$ Dividing by x, we get $\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{1}{x}y= \frac{e^{x}}{x}$. Comparing the above equation with $\frac{dy}{dx}+Py=Q$, we have $P=\frac{1}{x}$ and $Q= \frac{e^{x}}{x}$. Integrating Factor $I.F = e^{\int Pdx}$ $=e^{\int \frac{1}{x}dx}=e^{log|x|}= e^{logx}$ (as x>0) $=x$ General solution is obtained by the equation written as, $y(I.F)= \int (Q\times I.F)dx+C$ That is, $yx= \int(\frac{e^{x}}{x}\times x)dx+C$ or $yx= e^{x}+C$ or $y= \frac{e^{x}+C}{x}, x>0$
