Best answer
Answer: \(\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right) = \log|x| + c\)
\(\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 1 + \dfrac{y}{x} + \dfrac{y^2}{x^2}\), a homogeneous D.E.
Put \(y = vx\), so \(\dfrac{dy}{dx} = v + x\dfrac{dv}{dx}\).
\(v + x\dfrac{dv}{dx} = 1 + v + v^2 \Rightarrow x\dfrac{dv}{dx} = 1 + v^2\)
\(\dfrac{dv}{1 + v^2} = \dfrac{dx}{x}\)
Integrating: \(\tan^{-1}v = \log|x| + c\).
Replacing \(v = \dfrac{y}{x}\): \(\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right) = \log|x| + c\) is the general solution.
