Differential Equations

Question:

The integrating factor of the differential equation $x\frac{dy}{dx}+2y =x^2 $ is :

Options:

$x^2$

$2x$

$e^{2x}$

$e^x$

Correct Answer:

$x^2$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $x^2$

Dividing eq. by (x)

we get $\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{2}{x}y=x$

so I.F. = $e^{\int\frac{2}{x}dx}=e^{2\log x}=x^2$

$⇒I.F. =x^2$
