Class 12 Maths · Differential Equations · Short Answer #37

Find an integrating factor after writing (1 + y²) + (2xy − cot y)y′ = 0 as a linear equation for x(y).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 1 + y², on intervals sin y ≠ 0.
  1. Write dx/dy + [2y/(1 + y²)]x = cot y/(1 + y²).
  2. Integrate P: ∫2y/(1 + y²)dy = ln(1 + y²).
  3. The integrating factor is exp(ln(1 + y²)) = 1 + y²; cot y requires sin y ≠ 0.
