Solve xy′ + y − x + xy cot x = 0, x ≠ 0.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: y = 1/x − cot x + C/(x sin x), x sin x ≠ 0.
  1. Divide by x: y′ + (1/x + cot x)y = 1, requiring x ≠ 0 and sin x ≠ 0.
  2. A convenient integrating factor is x sin x, nonzero on an admissible connected interval.
  3. Then (xy sin x)′ = x sin x.
  4. By parts, ∫x sin x dx = −x cos x + sin x + C.
  5. Therefore y = 1/x − cot x + C/(x sin x), with x sin x ≠ 0.
