The integrating factor of differential equation $\left(1+y+x^{2} y\right) d x+\left(x+x^{3}\right) d y=0$ is
The integrating factor of differential equation $\left(1+y+x^{2} y\right) d x+\left(x+x^{3}\right) d y=0$ is
- $\frac{1}{x}$
- $x$
- $\log x$
- $e^{x}$
Solution
We have $\left(1+y+x^{2} y\right) d x+\left(x+x^{3}\right) d y=0$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-\left(1+y+x^{2} y\right)}{x\left(1+x^{2}\right)}=\frac{-\left[1+y\left(1+x^{2}\right)\right]}{x\left(1+x^{2}\right)}$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-1}{x\left(1+x^{2}\right)}-\frac{y\left(1+x^{2}\right)}{x\left(1+x^{2}\right)}$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}+\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) y=\frac{-1}{x\left(1+x^{2}\right)}$
$\therefore$ I.F. $=e^{\int \frac{1}{x} d x}=e^{\log x}=x$
