Question 85

The integrating factor of the differential equation $$\left(x^2 - 1\right) \frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy = x$$ is

Solution

$$(x^2 - 1)\frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy = x$$

$$\frac{dy}{dx} + \left( \frac{2x}{x^2 - 1} \right) y = \frac{x}{x^2 - 1}$$

$$P(x) = \frac{2x}{x^2 - 1}$$

$$\text{I.F.} = e^{\int \frac{2x}{x^2 - 1} \, dx}$$

$$\text{I.F.} = e^{\ln\vert{}x^2 - 1\vert{}} = x^2 - 1$$
