In summary, we can solve the given differential equation by first dividing through by $t$, obtaining a new equation $y'-\frac{y}{t}=te^{-1}$. Then, we can obtain $u(t)$ by taking the exponential of the integral of $-\frac{1}{t}$. Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{t}$, we get a simplified equation $(\frac{y}{t})'=e^{-1}$. Finally, we can integrate and solve for $y$ to get the general solution $y=\frac{t^2}{e}+c_1t$.

Find the general solution of the given differential equation
$\displaystyle ty^\prime -y =t^2e^{-1}\\$
Divide thru by t
$\displaystyle y^\prime-\frac{y}{t}=te^{-1}\\$
Obtain $u(t)$
$\displaystyle u(t)=\exp\int -\frac{1}{t} \, dt =\frac{1}{t}\\$
Multiply thru with $\displaystyle\frac{1}{t}$
$\displaystyle y^\prime -\frac{1}{t}y =te^{-1}\\$
Simplify:
$(\frac{1}{t}y)'=te^{-1} \\$

ok got stuck here so...

Answer from bk
$\displaystyle
\color{red}{y=c_1 -te^{-1}}$ (this is wrong)

Hi karush, :)

I think you have done a minor mistake; observe that; $$t\left(\frac{y}{t}\right)'=y'-\frac{y}{t}$$.

Hope you can do it from here :)

So if
$\displaystyle t\left(\frac{y}{t}\right)'=y'-\frac{y}{t}$
then
$\displaystyle t\left(\frac{y}{t}\right)'=te^{-1}$
or $\displaystyle
\left(\frac{y}{t}\right)'=e^{-1}$
then
$\displaystyle \frac{y}{t}=\int e^{-1} dt=\frac{t}{e}+c_1$
multiply thru by t
$\displaystyle y=\frac{t^2}{e}+c_1t$

kinda maybe hopefully raj

Yes that is correct. Well done. :)
