`xy + y' = 100x` Solve the differential equation

The problem:` xy+y'=100x` is as first order differential equation that we can evaluate by applying variable separable differential equation:


`N(y)y'=M(x)`


`N(y)(dy)/(dx)=M(x)`


`N(y) dy=M(x) dx`


Apply direct integration:` intN(y) dy= int M(x) dx` to solve for the


 general solution of a differential equation.


Applying variable separable differential equation, we get:


`xy+y'=100x`


`y' =100x-xy`


`y'=x(100-y)`


`(y')/(100-y)= x`


Let `y' =(dy)/(dx)` :


`((dy)/(dx))/(100-y)= x`


`(dy)/(100-y)= x dx`


Apply direct integration on both sides:


`int(dy)/(100-y)= int x dx`


For the left side, we consider u-substitution by letting:


`u= 100-y` then `du = -dy` or -`du=dy.`


The integral becomes:


`int(dy)/(100-y)=int(-du)/(u)`


Applying basic integration formula for logarithm:


`int(-du)/(u)= -ln|u|`


Plug-in `u = 100-y` on "`-ln|u|` " , we get:


`int(dy)/(100-y)=-ln|100-y|`



For the right side, we apply the Power Rule of integration: `int x^n dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1)+C`



 `int x* dx= x^(1+1)/(1+1)+C`



               ` = x^2/2+C`



Combing the results from both sides, we get the general solution of the differential equation as:


`-ln|100-y|= x^2/2+C`


or 


`y =100- e^(-x^2/2-C)`


 `y = 100-Ce^(-x^2/2)

Thomas Jefferson's election in 1800 is sometimes called the Revolution of 1800. Why could it be described in this way?
