Question:

The integrating factor of the differential equation  (cos2x) dy/dx + y = 5 is-

Options:

-etanx

ecotx

etanx

esinx

Correct Answer:

etanx

Explanation:

The given differential equation is (cos2x) dy/dx + y = 5

which can be written as- 

  dy/dx + (sec2x) y = 5(sec2x)

Which is differential equation of the form-

dy/dx + py = Q    (Where p= sec2x, and Q= 5sec2x) 

 

Integrating factor (I.F.) = e∫pdx

                        ⇒  (I.F.) = exp.(∫scc2xdx)= etanx
