Differential equations — practice question

The variables $x$ and $y$ obey the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = x e^{x+y}$, and it is known that $y = 0$ when $x = 0$.
(i)[7]

Solve the differential equation and write $y$ explicitly as a function of $x$.

(ii)[1]

Give a brief reason that $x$ may only be less than $1$.
