The integrating factor of the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{1}{x} y=x^{3}-3$ is

The integrating factor of the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{1}{x} y=x^{3}-3$ is
  1. $-y$
  2. $y$
  3. $x$
  4. $-x$

Solution

$\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{1}{x} y=x^{3}-3 \quad$ is linear differentiatial equation $\therefore \text { I.F. }=\mathrm{e}^{\int \frac{1}{x} \mathrm{dx}}=\mathrm{e}^{\log x}=\mathrm{x}$
