Differential Equations

Question:

If $\sin x$ is an intergrating factor of the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}+P y=Q$, then P can be

Options:

$\log \sin x$

$\cot x$

$\sin x$

$\log \cos x$

Correct Answer:

$\cot x$

Explanation:

We have,

Integrating factor = $\sin x$

$\Rightarrow  e^{\int P d x}=\sin x$

$\Rightarrow \int P d x=\log \sin x \Rightarrow P=\frac{d}{d x}(\log \sin x)=\cot x$
