The integrating factor of the differential equation x(dy/dx) − y = x³ − 2x is:
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (A) 1/x
Explanation
Dividing by x gives dy/dx - (1/x)y = x² - 2, so P = -1/x. IF = e^(∫ -1/x dx) = e^(-ln x) = 1/x.
Correct answer: (A) 1/x
Explanation
Dividing by x gives dy/dx - (1/x)y = x² - 2, so P = -1/x. IF = e^(∫ -1/x dx) = e^(-ln x) = 1/x.
