Linear De
Easymathematics
The differential equation dy/dx + Py = Q is called
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Linear first order DE
- Linearity Criteria: An equation is linear if the dependent variable (y) and its derivatives appear only to the first power and are not multiplied together.
- Form Analysis: dxdy+P(x)y=Q(x) satisfies these criteria.
- Terms: P(x) and Q(x) are continuous functions of x.
- Method of Solution: This type is standardly solved using an Integrating Factor (I.F.) =e∫P(x)dx.
