Question:

Integrating factor of the differential equation $(x+1) \frac{d y}{d x}-y=e^{3 x}(x+1)^2$, is

Options:

$-(x+1)$

$\log (x+1)$

$e^{x+1}$

$\frac{1}{x+1}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{x+1}$

Explanation:

We have,

$\frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{1}{x+1} y=e^{3 x}(x+1)$

∴  Integrating factor = $e^{-\int \frac{1}{x+1} d x}=e^{-\log (x+1)}=\frac{1}{x+1}$
