Find an integrating factor of y′ + y = (1 + y)/x.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: eˣ/x, x ≠ 0.
  1. Rearrange to y′ + (1 − 1/x)y = 1/x.
  2. Integrate P: ∫(1 − 1/x)dx = x − ln|x|. The positive IF is eˣ/|x|.
  3. A convenient proportional signed integrating factor is eˣ/x on each connected interval x ≠ 0.
