Question: Find the integral factor of equation \((x^{2} + 1)\frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy = x^{2} - 1\)...
Find the integral factor of equation (x2+1)dxdy+2xy=x2−1
A
x2+1
B
x2+12x
C
x2+1x2−1
D
None of these
Answer
x2+1
Explanation
Solution
Given equation may be written as dxdy+x2+12xy=x2+1x2−1
Comparing with dxdy+Py=Q,
P=x2+12x
I.F.=e∫Pdx=e∫1+x22xdx=eln(1+x2)=1+x2
