3. INTEGRATING FACTOR :-
• Sometimes, a differential equation is not exact but can be made by
exact by multiplying with a suitable function. This function is known
as Integrating Factor(IF).
4. LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION :-
• In each term in a differential equation including the derivative in
linear in the term of the dependent variable then the equation is
linear.
• A Differential Equation in the form of
ⅆ𝑦
ⅆ𝑥
+ 𝑝𝑦 = 𝑄 …(i)
Where P and Q are the function of 𝑥, is called a linear differential equation
and linear is 𝑦.
5. • Solve the equation (i) to obtain the Integrating Factor (I.F.)….
IF = ⅇ 𝑃 ⅆ𝑥
• Multiplying equation (i) by IF,
ⅇ 𝑃 ⅆ𝑥 ⅆ𝑦
ⅆ𝑥
+ Pⅇ 𝑃 ⅆ𝑥
𝑦 = Qⅇ 𝑃 ⅆ𝑥
ⅆ
ⅆ𝑥
[ⅇ 𝑃 ⅆ𝑥
𝑦] = Qⅇ 𝑃 ⅆ𝑥
Integration W.R.T 𝑥
ⅇ 𝑃 ⅆ𝑥
𝑦 = Qⅇ 𝑃 ⅆ𝑥
dx + c
(IF) 𝑦 = (𝐼𝐹)Q + c …(ii)
Equation (ii) is known as a differential equation.
6. EXAMPLE :- ⅆ𝑦
ⅆ𝑥

• P and Q are the function of x or constants is nonlinear
equation, known as Bernoulli’s Equation.
• Divide the equation (i) by 𝑦 𝑛
