21.7.1 Solving as second order ode missing x ode

This is missing independent variable second order ode. Solved by reduction of order by using substitution which makes the dependent variable \(x\) an independent variable. Using \begin {align*} x' &= p(x) \end {align*}

Then \begin {align*} x'' &= \frac {dp}{dt}\\ &= \frac {dx}{dt} \frac {dp}{dx}\\ &= p \frac {dp}{dx} \end {align*}

Hence the ode becomes \begin {align*} p \left (x \right ) \left (\frac {d}{d x}p \left (x \right )\right )-x = -{\mathrm e}^{-p \left (x \right )} \end {align*}

Which is now solved as first order ode for \(p(x)\). Unable to determine ODE type.
