Implicit function equation $f(x) + \log(f(x)) = x$

Is there a function $f \colon \mathbb{R}_{>0} \to \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ such that $$ f(x) + \log(f(x)) = x $$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$? I have tried rewriting it as a differential equation ...

How can I handle$~\exp(\ln|x|)~$to solve 1st order linear DE?

RHS and LHS are same. $$\exp\left(\ln\left(x\right)\right)=\exp\left(\ln\left(x\right)\right)\tag{1}$$ Taking log. $$\ln\left(\exp\left(\ln\left(x\right)\right)\right)=\ln\left(\exp\left(\ln\left(x\...

Non-linear second order ODE

I have to solve $$ y''(x)+(y'(x))^2=y'(x). $$ Using $ y'(x)=z $, I can write $$\int \frac{1}{z-z^2}dz=\int dx $$ So: $$\frac{1}{z(1-z)}=\frac{A}{z}+\frac{B}{1-z}$$ leads to $$ \int \frac{1}{z(1-z)...

Can modulus function present in a particular solution

Particular solution of $2ye^{\tfrac{x}{y}}dx+\Big(y-2xe^{\tfrac{x}{y}}\Big)dy=0$, $x=0$ when $y=1$ Attempt Put $x=vy$ $$ \frac{dx}{dy}=\frac{x}{y}-\frac{1}{2e^{\tfrac{x}{y}}}\\ \frac{dx}{dy}=v+y\...

When will the population of a sample double (using dif-eq)?

I have the initial equation $$\frac{dP}{dt}=kp$$ where P is the population, t is time, and k is some positive constant. The rest of what I'm given is that P(0) = A, what is the time for the population ...

Expotential Growth/Decay - Problem Deriving Atmospheric Pressure Formula

I have a problem deriving the following formula: $$\frac{dP}{dh} = k\left(\frac{P}{T}\right)$$ Using the following 'rule': If $\ \dfrac{dA}{dt} = kA\,$ then $\,A = A_0\left(e^{\,kt}\right)\,$ ...
