What is the integrating factor of the differential equation (1 + y²) dx = (tan⁻¹y − x) dy?
What is the integrating factor of the differential equation (1 + y²) dx = (tan⁻¹y − x) dy?
- A. e^(tan⁻¹y)
- B. e^(−tan⁻¹y)
- C. tan⁻¹y
- D. 1/(1+y²)
Answer: A) e^(tan⁻¹y)
Explanation: Divide by (1+y²)dy: dx/dy + x/(1+y²) = tan⁻¹y / (1+y²). This is linear in x. P = 1/(1+y²). IF = e^(∫dy/(1+y²)) = e^(tan⁻¹y).
