Show that the one-parameter family of straight lines u =
Ct + f(C) is a solution to the differential equation t du/dt - u
+ f(du/dt) = 0 for any value of the constant C
Solution
du/dt = C
Thus:
t(du/dt) - u + f(du/dt) = Ct - u + f(C) = Ct - (Ct + f(C)) + f(C)
=
Ct - Ct - f(C) + f(C) = 0
so u = Ct + f(C) satisfies the equation.

Show that the one-parameter family of straight lines u = Ct + f(C) is a solution to the differential equation t du/dt - u + f(du/dt) = 0 for any value of the constant C Solution du/dt = C Thus: t(du/dt) - u + f(du/dt) = Ct - u + f(C) = Ct - (Ct + f(C)) + f(C) = Ct - Ct - f(C) + f(C) = 0 so u = Ct ...
