The integrating factor of dy/dx + y = x is
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
ex
- Identify Linear coefficients: For dxdy+P(x)y=Q(x):
- Here, P(x)=1 and Q(x)=x.
- Formula for I.F.: I.F.=e∫P(x)dx.
- Calculation:
- I.F.=e∫1dx=ex.
- Multiplication by ex turns the left side of the original equation into a single derivative: dxd(yex).
