y' + xy = xy^-1 Solve the Bernoulli differential equation.

Given equation is y'+xy=xy^(-1)
 
An equation of the form y'+Py=Qy^n
is called as the Bernoulli equation .
so, to proceed to solve this equation we have to transform the equation into a linear equation form of first order as follows
=> y' (y^-n) +P y^(1-n)=Q
let u= y^(1-n)
=> (1-n)y^(-n)y'=u'
=> y^(-n)y' = (u')/(1-n)
so ,
y' (y^-n) +P y^(1-n)=Q
=> (u')/(1-n) +P u =Q
so this equation is now of the linear form of first order
Now,
From this equation ,
y'+xy=xy^(-1)
and
y'+Py=Qy^n
on comparing we get
P=x , Q=x , n=-1
so the linear form of first order of the equation y'+xy=xy^(-1) is given as
 
=> (u')/(1-n) +P u =Q where u= y^(1-n) =y^2
=> (u')/(1-(-1)) +(x)u =x
=> (u')/2 +xu=x
=> u'+2xu = 2x
 
so this linear equation is of the form
u' + pu=q
p=2x , q=2x
so I.F (integrating factor ) = e^(int p dx) = e^(int 2x dx) = e^2(x^2)/2 = e^(x^2)
 
and the general solution is given as
u (I.F)=int q * (I.F) dx +c
=> u(e^(x^2))= int (2x) *(e^(x^2)) dx+c
=> u(e^(x^2))=  int (e^(x^2)) 2xdx+c
 
let us first solve
int e^(x^2) 2xdx
so , let t =x^2
dt = 2xdx
int e^(x^2) 2xdx = int e^(t) dt = e^t = e^(x^2)
 
so now => ue^(x^2)=  e^(x^2)+c
=>u=((e^(x^2))+c)/(e^(x^2))
 = 1 +ce^(-x^2)
but
u=y^2 ,so
y^2=(1 +ce^(-x^2))
y= sqrt (1 +ce^(-x^2))
is the general solution.

In “Goodbye to All That,” Joan Didion writes that the “lesson” of her story is that “it is distinctly possible to remain too long at the fair.” What does she mean? How does the final section of the essay portray how she came to this understanding, her feelings about it, and the consequences of it?
