Consider the equation, y=ex(logx) Differentiate above w.r.t x , dxdy=xex+exlnx ....(I) Now, dxdy=xex+y Different above w.r.t x , xdx2d2y=x2x2ex−xex+xdxdyxdx2d2y+(x−1)y=x2xex(x−1)+xdxdy+(x−1)yxdx2d2y+(x−1)y=xex(x−1)+(x−1)y+xdxdy=ex−xex+(x−1)exlnx+xdxdy Further simplify the above, xdx2d2y+(x−1)y=(x−1)ex{x1+lnx}+xdxdy=(x−1)[xex+exlnx]+xdxdy Consider equation (1), xdx2d2y+(x−1)y=(x−1+x)dxdyxdx2d2y+(x−1)y=(2x−1)dxdy
