Probably stupid to ask here, but anyway..

y'= 1+y/x
substitute: u= y/x => y= u.x

now I get:
y'= u'.x+u

but why? how did I get that :/

Are you doing derivatives through U substitution and partial derivatives?

Yeah, but how did i get that?
Does u.x mean u times x? That's what I'm assuming.
-It looks like you're doing U substitution for y/x and then doing an integral(reverse derivative) of y' to find y=u*x

U is subsititution for y/x, so u=y/x from that you can easily see that y=u*x

but what I don't get is how did I get the last part, how did I get that y'=u'*x+u

Alright if U=y/x that means U'=1/x (I did the derivative of U with respect to x) then this puts y' as y'=u'*x+u put back in what you subbed out you'll have y'=(1/x)*x+(y/x). Then (1/x)*x equals 1 so in the end your back to y'=1+(y/x)

-So to sum in up you subbed y/x to equal U
-Then you did the derivative of U to get 1/x equals U'
-put both U and U' back into the equation and you're set

I still don't get it if you derivate y/x won't the outcome be -y*x^(-2)? how come it's 1/x?

oh shit, I shoud derivate the "y" not the "x" right? I'm so retarded.

-It depends on what you're holding constant or in other words what variable are you differentiating.
So if you do dx/dy of y/x then your answer would be 1/x
but if you do dy/dx of y/x then you get what you thought would be the out come (-y*x^(-2))

I'm assuming you're differentiating in respect to x in the equation I believe
